I don't really feel there's anything to gain out of arguing whether or not the Palestinian people are an artificial construct, any more than the Swiss or Israelis are - it's indisputable that a large population, extending beyond the borders of West Bank/Gaza strip identify as Palestinian, and desire self-determination.
What's the end goal of that argument anyway? Say you convince people that Palestinians are just a make believe thing (unlike someone's British identity which I suppose you think is more real) - what difference should that make to negotiations?
