Well, as a landed peoples they were described by Herotedus way back before Jesus, around 200BC, and they were known to those peoples back into the mythological histories.

The only reason it was not a 'country' is because notions of statehood are a fairly recent and Western invention.

So? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine

Quote:

The history of Palestine is the study of the past in the region of Palestine, the geographic region in Western Asia between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, and various adjoining lands. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of major Abrahamic religions[1] the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. Palestine has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including the Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Tjekker, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Muslims, the Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans, the British, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (1948–1967, on the "West Bank") and Egyptian Republic (in Gaza), and modern Israelis and Palestinians. Other terms for the same area include Canaan, Zion, the Land of Israel, Southern Syria, Jund Filastin, Outremer, the Holy Land and the Southern Levant.




I doubt the Palestinian ethnicity even existed before about a century ago.  It is a modern made up people.

Fair enough, I've never looked into it that deeply.

But what makes a country in my mind is the people that inhabit the land and affiliate with its customs and traditions.

Every boundary is the result of conquest.I don't know why Jordan and Egypt didn't just reabsorb their nationals who lived in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.  Unless they knew that they were uncivilized lunatics and were glad to be rid of them.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)
