Unfortunately the Palestinians don't have any land. Never did. Israel
did not kick the Palestinians out of present day Israel.

Quite right. The Jews forced no Arabs off their land. Many Arabs, those
that are referred to as Palestinians, abandoned their land at the behest of
their fellow Arabs in Jordan, Syria, etc. They were to leave while the Arab
states drove the Jews into the sea, then the Arabs would return and have all
of the land. Israel would not exist. But the Arabs lost the war, and those
that had abandoned their land within the new state of Israel were now
homeless. The Arabs that didn't abandon their land are now citizens of
Israel. They vote, hold seats in the Knesset, and have the highest standard
of living among any Arabs in the world. Other than the relative few that
control large quantities of oil, of course.

Most Palestinians came from Jordon...when they were kicked out.

??? IIRC, "Palestine" is a subset.

A subset of what?

In 1923 the British separated the Palestine Mandate at the Jordan River.
The portion of Palestine east of the Jordan, about three fourths of the
total area, became Transjordan and Jews were not permitted to settle there.
A few years later the British added the area of desert connecting
Transjordan with Iraq. In 1946 Transjordan became an independent nation and
was renamed Jordan.

Not only that, but there really is NO SUCH thing as the Palestinian people.
They are Arabs. Period.
