The Palestinians NEVER have been their own landlord. In history, that has never been the case. That land was ruled by the Jews, then the Babylonians, then the Jews, then the Assyrians, then the Romans, then the Byzantines, then the Ottomans, then the British, and now Israel.

I don't think there was any group that identified themselves as Palestinians until the British took over after WWI.

In the earlier cases not only did no group call themsevles Palestinians but there was no group by another name that was closely related to today's Palestinians. Ancient Israel took over from people that where not Arab. The Babylonians, Assyrians, and Romans took over an area that was mostly Jewish. I think the Arabs came later, maybe during the Ottoman period or at earliest during the Byzantine.
