As with a number of things, I'm trolling you, but I'm trolling here for a purpose. One of those purposes is actually to show how politicized and artificial a Nation-State truly is. For there are no ''Palestinians''. There are Christians of the Holy Land, Muslims and Jews (the first settlers to identify themselves as ''Palestinians'' were Zionists!) too, Bedawi and Druze, etc... but there is no real secular ''Palestinian Arab'' identity as such. However, there will be an eventual ''Palestinian'' Nation-State, and it will be the trojan horse for the planned destruction of the Israeli people and nation at the hands of the Muslims.... But that's another story.
I'm a ''Zionist'' of sorts then, for the Jewish destiny is to be in Israel, and so they will either return to the Holy Land or fade away, assimilated or destroyed in Exile in the Gentile world of the Nations.
The other reason for the ''Troll'' is to remind you of the illegitimacy of the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War, because you probably hold to the idea of it's legitimacy while denying it to the ''Palestinians'', not logical...
Confederate States of AmericaThe Confederate States of America (CSA or C.S.), commonly referred to as the Confederacy, was an unrecognized country in North America that existed from 1861 to 1865.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PalestineAll I am saying is that Palestine has never been a de facto kingdom, nation, country, or state with its own people called Palesatinians. However, recently there has been efforts to make Palestine a state through the United nations, but that effort has only succeeded in it being recognized as a de jure state. That is, even though 136 UN members believe it has the right to be a state, it is not in fact a state at this time.
Israel, also known as the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia, located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel
