I guess u missed my point. India as we know it today did not have any of those qualifications either, in the past.

>>Please direct me to a reference for the historical founding of Palestine as an autonomous self governing entity with distinct geographical boundaries from which a unique culture and people arose with their own language and culture.<< Please explain the relevance of this question. My guess - Palestinians have no right to the West Bank and Gaza, and it's the obligation of neighboring Muslim states to take them in.

Please direct me to a reference for the historical founding of Palestine It began when Israel won the territory from Jordan in War. (Jordan has given up its claim to the land and people). The culture in Palestine has developed in its own unique way since then. The people living there were not offered citizneship by Israel when it won and thus to a degree Palestinian culture has developed in opposition to Israeli rule. Nonetheless, even though the Palestinians have been in a sort of pseudo-colonial relation with the Israelis they also have picked up some of the same values and many are far more modern in outlook than Arabs in neighbouring countries. In the the thirty years since the war folk living in palestine have come to identify themselves with each other and the area. Because of the Oslo Accord, ineffective though it is, Palestine has come to have a de facto status as a semi country. The general consensus is that if there were reasonable stability inside Palestine and better relations with the Israelis that it would get recognition of a more formal sort throughout the world and especially by the major powers. I hope this is helpful to you in your quest for truth.
