no I am not confused one bit. I think you are mistaking the word palestine as a word and a historical area versus a nation and an ethnic identity. I have spent many many hours researching this. I know the history, the peoples, the migrations and everything I can read in the english language. I beg you go and read the historical documents. I can only speak to fact, not suppostion.
as a start see if your local library can obtain a copy of the british mapping expedition of 1862. then try to obtain travel documents available for the 1880 to 1910 time period.
there has been enormous obfuscation of the simple facts of the matter in the last 5 years, so much so Yale educated people have told me that they thought Israel was formed because of the immigration of countless jews from europe in 1940 to 1946. They had never heard of the White Paper, something their professors kindly left out.
