Your right, for now. I except there will be a Palestinian state. When, who knows. Time will tell. However, there is a Palestinian nation. Here, I will define a nation as "A self-identifying people who share a common history, often language, a common culture and a homeland." For a state to be established, you need the following:
1. A homeland
2. self-governance
3. set borders
4. being recognized by other states.

Oh I see...so Jordanians and Egyptians are a nation with self-identifying people with a common history, culture and homeland?
There is none of that. Gazans generally tend to dislike those from the West Bank. The language in the region is Arabic which is spoken by all Arab countries - however there are different dialects even within the supposed "territories". Loyalty to one's village runs very high to this day actually. There is no common homeland. I don't understand where you're getting this stuff.
I don't care how you try to skirt around the issue - Palestine has never existed. If you really want insist on your definition, Jordan would be the closest thing to come to "Palestine".
