This is all true if you believe the Zionists narrative of "a land without people for a people without land". But there's a reason why the Palestinians have a unique culture, food, dialect, traditional clothing, etc. that can only be developed over centuries or millenia.
But yeah let's pretend that people don't have a right to self determination until they're officially given a country by the UN. By that definition, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians and yes even the Israelis had no legitimate claim to any land either. Hey all you western Canadians, you guys never technically had an independent country ever in history, let's ship you all off to Ontario and give all of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to some other group. I hear the Mormons or Scientologists are looking for an independent state.

Whoa, slow down. I might be reading it wrong, but I think he's using that reasoning to give legitimacy to the Arab people, not the Jewish people as you seem to think he's saying. Or at least, that the argument could be made that even though some say Palestine was never technically a country, it shouldn't matter, because the people still lived there before, even if it wasn't officially recognized. Much like the native peoples here.
