The title is a bit misleading.
Palestinian identity until ~1967 was fairly fluid. Generic Arab? Uniquely Palestinian? Southern Syrian? National identity can be fluid. Most locals in the West Bank were fairly content with Jordanian rule between 1948 and 1967 as well, which makes sense considering national identity wasn't all that solidified.
So my question is, what if Jordan (including the West Bank) were to have proclaimed itself the representative state of the Palestinian people, complete with right of return for refugees?
