Since there has also never, ever been an independent state called "Asia", there cannot be any people called "Asians"...

Are you now claiming the so-called "Palestinians" are a race? Asian is a racial, not nationalistic, designation. Nice try though.

Palestinians referes to the inhabitants of the geographical area known as palestine, just as Asians refer to the inhabitants of Asia. Go read the Balfour Declaration if you believe there's never been an area known as Palestine. Thus, Your "independent state" argument is both irrelevant, and ignores the history of the conflict.
