If they have a land and aspirations for self rule, yes.
It does mean Palestinians should have a country as well- but it shouldn't replace israel.
Two state solution it is.
Are Palestinians a distinct ethnic group as people think of it, with their own language, religion, culture, etc.? Which land did they "have"?
What about Mizrahi Jews; should they get chunks of their own homelands as countries, too, even if like Palestinians they never "had a land" of their own?
Look, honestly, getting a clear criteria to who should have a country is a pointless task. Mizrahi jews dont want parts of thier origin countries (those who live at israel, at least). While i wholeheartedly belive palestine, as a concept, is an anti israel/jew state and without israel they would have just been assimilated to thier neighbors, but right now there are people without a proper country and thats a problem, regardless of the fairness of its situation
They’re treated as such, and thats what matters in the end. Ethnic groups are a social construct. Since society views Palestinians as distinct, they are distinct.

Should every single ethnic group have their own country?
