What does Thomas Friedman mean here?

One of the Big Lies of the movement to destroy Israel is the contention that there was a Palestinian nation before land was allegedly stolen from them. Now, it appears that NYT columnist Thomas Friedman is buying into the fraud. From his latest column:  

"a two-state solution in which the Palestinians get back the West Bank, Gaza and Arab parts of East Jerusalem"

Perhaps I am misinformed but the "Palestinians" did not have possession of Gaza, occupied by Egypt since 1948, and the West Bank and East Jerusalem, occupied (or even annexed) by Jordan, until after the six day war.

Am I missing something? Is Friedman just careless, or does this signify something deeper?
