Palestine wasn’t a defeated country, but was part of the Ottoman empire and later the British empire. That region, and many other countries, were carved out in the same period.

Israel has been rejected every step of the way by multiple countries and every country that later signed peace treaties with Israel have been perfectly peaceful with Israel. Iran, Syria and Palestine have been the most not peaceful with Israel and all show terrible human rights. That fact is possibly the most important detail…if Palestinians want peace, they need to first clean up their human right issues.
