  5.  @chrisconnor7934  Of course there were Palestinian Passports. They were issued by the British Authorities from 1919 till 1948 for Arabs and for the Jews as well. It was written in three languages, English, Arabic and Hebrew. It goes also for Post stamps and coins. I still have some of it. all were issued by the British in favor of the local citizens. Documents yes as the Jews ones. A flag - no. Now for stilling the lands. Nobody did it. The Jews who lived there from the Roman times owned it legally. The newcomer Jews since the 19th Century bought every Inch of it from the Arab owners, most of them Christians who lived in Egypt and in Lebanon. They were very happy to get good money from the stupid Jews who bought their swamps and sands. My home town was established that way in 1878. After Israel was established and was attacked by seven Arab armies and won, many Arabs had to leave since their leaders ordered them to leave for a short while not to risk themselves till the Arabs will kill all the Jews. There were also who were forced to leave for a reason. After 1967 Israel took over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It happened after the King of Jordan joined the war against Israel with Egypt and Syria. He lost and the lands were taken over by Israel. His lands, not the Palestinians who keep owning theme till today. BTW. It probably will be also new to you. Most of the so-called Palestinians arrived in that region at the end of the 19th Century till the beginning of the 20th Century alongside the Jews who arrived also from Yemen and from Europe. The today Palestinians have no advantage over the Jews but they claim to live there for ages. If you really want to know much more about the conflict between the Arabs and Israel, let me recommend you to read the history of that region for the last 200 years starting 1831.
