To clarify: “Palestine/Filastin” was the colloquial term to refer to the region across the Mutasarrifates of Akka, Nablus, and Jerusalem which were Ottoman administrative districts.

Am I missing something? If you read the map, there is no vilayet of Palestine. Not even a sandjak!

The ottomans didn’t call it “palestine”.
For 400 years it was called “Ottoman Province of Syria” or “Southern Syria” or “the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem”.

I was led to believe that was a land without a people for a people without a land? Turns out that empty land did have people on it, funny thing that.
It’s like maps of “The Midwest” in the US right down to the region depicted being different from map to map.
