Salon - Mike Huckabee has revived the incendiary notion that there’s no such thing as a Palestinian people, repeating an assertion that has been condemned by a wide spectrum of historians and political analysts.
The likely Republican presidential hopeful made the claim in an interview with the Washington Post...“The idea that they have a long history, dating back hundreds or thousands of years, is not true,” the former Arkansas governor and Fox News host told the Post.
This isn’t the first time Huckabee has advanced the idea. “I have to be careful saying this, because people get really upset — there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian,” Huckabee told a Massachusetts rabbi during his 2008 presidential campaign. “That’s been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel.”

The "Palestinian People" are a creature of Saudi Arabia. Of course they exist. So do the Saudi's trillions.
Ignore history much? The "Palestinian people" are the people who've occupied, farmed, and lived in Palestine --an area attested for more than 2000 years-- for centuries. They've been mostly Muslim for about 1300 years, ever since there's been Muslims to be.
Your hasbarist lies won't fly with anyone who has any knowledge of the region's history at all.
For some information on Palestine read:

Seems like "war" settles all disputes in that part of the world.
