Was there ever an historical "palestine" state? Anyhow the Brits dived the land betw Jews and Palestinians. So technically Jordan is the Palestinian state. We don't find the king of Jordan claiming any land from Israel do we? Btw Arabs, Turks and Persians through out history have occupied the so called "palestinian" state.

Think about it this way. Hyptothetically speaking, within India today what if there's a call for another "muslim" homeland? Should there be another country created? Or the "muslims" demanding the new homeland be asked to just go to Pakistan under the 1947 provisions?

Same. Palestinians demanding a new homeland need to migrate to Jordan. And if Israel does occupy territory, the leadership of Jordan should make the demands. Not Egypt, not Syria and definitely not the House of Saud.
