if you look at Ottoman maps, you will see that the area that became the British Mandate of Palestine was divided up between three larger Ottoman provinces.

My only source of ancient maps is the Perry-Castañeda Library online map collection, which only has historical maps made by Europeans for that region.

I would love to look at maps made by the Ottomans.

You didn't answer your own question. Whether or not "the Arabs" accepted anything is not the determining factor. Arabs never accepted the establishment of Israel, but you aren't going to claim that therefore Israel doesn't legally exist, are you?

Doesn't the same UN resolution that "legally" establishes Israel also "legally" establish Palestine?

If not, what legally establishes Israel?
