Answer 1
Palestine was never an independent or quasi-independent Arab State before the 1990s. Prior to the State of Israel, it was a British Mandate. (Answer 2 is mistaken about this issue.) Prior to that it was part of the Ottoman Empire (and not even a unified district), Seljuk Empire, Mamluk Empire, etc. Palestine was given opportunity to declare independence in 1947 with UN Resolution 181, since permission was given to both a Jewish State AND an Arab State. Unfortunately, the Palestinians chose at that time not to legitimize the Jewish State by declaring independence. In 1988, the PLO declared Palestinian Independence in absentia. In 1993, the Oslo Accords resulted in Israeli recognition of the Palestinian Authority as an independent governing body for the Palestinians and gave them administration of parts of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. However, there has not been a realization of full independence yet.
Answer 2: Palestinian Perspective
Palestine had independence about 60 years ago, but know they have no independence. in fact some Palestinians are in like a prison cell. everywhere they go they need to pass a checkpoint and the Jews treat Palestinian badly. sometimes they even let Palestinian woman give birth on the middle of the streets just because they don't have their passport on them.
