[EyeOfTheTiger]

why didn't they oppose jordan ruling judea and samartia(west bank) for 19 years?
why didn't they oppose egypt ruling gaza for 19 years?
why didn't they oppose the british mandate?
why didn't they oppose the ottoman empire ruling it?

Generally speaking they probably did oppose them. Then they got killed off, and the history was 'forgotten'. I suspect that happened to many people who just sort of disappeared. Don't believe in ottoman 'tolerance'. Tolerance just means they would not kill you outright. Things like being taken off your land and forced into army, forced to colonize some crummy land while your developed homeland is stolen, forced to marry into other populations and all sorts of playing god with people's lives is actually common through history. Christians for example are slowly whittled down all through muslim world but no one mentions one peep about this while some farcical manufactured conflict that could have been setlled decades ago gets artificially dragged out by people who want to get rid of the jews at any cost.

The Arab League in Cairo Summit 1964 initiated the creation of an organization representing the Palestinian people.[21]

The Palestinian National Council convened in Jerusalem on 28 May 1964. Concluding this meeting the PLO was founded on 2 June 1964. Its Statement of Proclamation of the Organization[22] declared "... the right of the Palestinian Arab people to its sacred homeland Palestine and affirming the inevitability of the battle to liberate the usurped part from it, and its determination to bring out its effective revolutionary entity and the mobilization of the capabilities and potentialities and its material, military and spiritual forces".

Due to the influence of the Egyptian President Nasser, the PLO supported 'Pan-Arabism', as advocated by him – this was the ideology that the Arabs should live in one state. The first executive committee was formed on 9 August, with Ahmad Shuqeiri as its leader.[citation needed]

In spite of the 1949 Armistice Agreements, the Arab states remained unreconciled to Israel's creation as they had been to the proposed partition of Palestine in 1948. Therefore, the Palestinian National Charter of 1964[23] stated: "The claims of historic and spiritual ties between Jews and Palestine are not in agreement with the facts of history or with the true basis of sound statehood... [T]he Jews are not one people with an independent personality because they are citizens to their states." (Article 18).

Although Egypt and Jordan supported the creation of a Palestinian state on land that they recognised as being occupied by Israel, they would not grant sovereignty to the Palestinian people in lands under Jordanian and Egyptian military occupation, amounting to 53% of the territory allocated to Arabs under the UN Partition Plan. Hence, Article 24: "This Organization does not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank, the Gaza Strip or in the Himmah Area.

In other words, the PLO was created to demand that Israel give up its land, but didn't say a damn thing about the West Bank (Jordan) or Gaza (Egypt). Palestinian leaders have always been hypocritical assholes. Arafag was the worst.

Whats the difference between a Palestinian and a Jordanian?

They did rebel against the Ottoman empire.......

[Yehiel]

They did rebel against the Ottoman empire.......

That was people living in Palestine (geographic region) not a people called Palestinians

[Kiyant]

That was people living in Palestine (geographic region) not a people called Palestinians

And those were the Arab population of the region called Palestine so basically it qualifies them as Palestinians (for example the jewish population supported the Ottomans)
