Original Note:
The phrase is a "Land without a People" - not that there were no people there but rather that there was no identity group. See quote from Israel Zangwill in 1901: "Palestine has but a small population of Arabs and fellahin and wandering, lawless, blackmailing Bedouin tribes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_land_without_a_people_for_a_people_without_a_land
