It was Palestinian land when the Jordanians ruled it.

The Jordanians didn't think so. No autonomy, no services either.

Of course, the Jordanians did expel all the Jews who owned any land on the West Bank in 1948. Was the Jewish owned land also "Palestinian"? Was the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem "Palestinian"?

I'm curious, just how does territory get assigned to a country that never existed?
