It wasn't until the mid-1960s that historical revisionists and propagandists within the Arab world came up with the construct 'Palestinian'. Indeed, I never heard mention of such a term until just following the 1967 War.

Daryavesh - thank you for your reply.
Under the Ottoman Turkish Empire there was no administrative use of the name “Palestine”. Eretz Ysrael was within the Ottoman province of “Syria”.
The following image shows the list of Ottoman Turkish provinces called “vilayets”, which the reader can see includes “Syria” but does not include any “Palestine”:

“When was the “Palestinian people” actually created? Simply using the Google Ngram Viewer* provides the answer.
Ngram is a database that charts the frequency that a given phrase appears in books published between the years 1500 to 2008. When a user enters the word phrases “Palestinian people” and “Palestinian state” into the Ngram search bar, he discovers that they began appearing only in 1960**.”

Just to be clear:
During British Mandate Palestine (1922 to 1948) both Arabs and Jews could apply to be “Palestinian” citizens:
JEWISH citizens of British Mandate Palestine were Palestinian:
Extracts from five British “Government of Palestine” passports,
from which it can be seen that JEWISH citizens of the Mandate were “Palestinian”.
