When did any of this land belong to Palestinians and, for that matter, when was the term "Palestinian" first coined? Where does history record a "Palestinian people"? There is none other than the Jews who were derided by the British as "bloody Palestinians". Today's Palestinians are Arabs with no distinct ethnicity.

Jews today are celebrating Chanukah which celebrates the re-dedication during the second century BC of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Quite a history!
"The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.
“For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.” – Interview with Zuheir Muhsin, a member of the PLO Executive Council, published in the March 31, 1977 edition of the Dutch Newspaper “Trouw”.
Now, could you please present some kind of legitimate proof that there is any such thing as “Palestinian soil”?

I agree with your argument that there may not be "Palestinian soil" but we are still left with the reality that there are Palestinian people.
So where will they live?
I'm an optimist (barely, these days) and hopefully see an international "rebuilding" of Gaza into a modern democratic state.
