It doesn't matter whether or not there has ever been an independent nation called Palestine before the creation of Isreal. The fact is, the majority of the population of present day Israel, West Bank and Gaza has always been Palestinians, not Jewish.
Here's an interesting fact, Judaism is a religion, not a nationality or race. Anyone can convert into Judaism, but nobody can convert into Palestinian. Israel is the only country in the world that is the exclusive homeland of a religious group.

There is no such thing as a "Palestinian". Prior to Israel's creation, and for millenia prior, the region was basically no-man's land with successive people colonizing, then being defeated by the next group that came along.
The 3 million Palestinians can have their own state. They could have had it 10 years ago, if not for the second intifada.
Israel only wants peace. Leave them alone, and the Palestinians will get their state!
