It was never a nation. Just a region defined by Rome and later under Ottoman dominion. Sort of the Ukraine of the Middle East. Palestine = Jordan. Not Egyptians nor Syrians.

Well the longest era of recorded peace in the area was under Ottoman dominion. The diff between Turks and Arabs. Oh, and I don't buy into your "real point". Have a nice day and the last word too, as you chose. psst, there was this 2/3rds vote of the U.N. General Assembly. The Brits indeed!
