Nope. Go check an Ottoman map, you won't find Palestine on it. It is only Christians and Jews who put borders around Palestine, remembering Judea. Arabs and Turks never drew their borders that way. Before WWI, the area that became the Mandate of Palestine was part of three larger Ottoman vileyats (provinces): The Vileyat of Beirut, the Vileyat of Damascus, and the Independent Sanjak of Jerusalem. Thanks for the lesson. My source was that I happened to watch Ben Hur a few weeks ago, and it has Palestine on the map in one scene! Seriously....
