Some Bible teachers think that the portion about "dividing up my land" refers to partitioning "Palestine" into Arab and Jewish states. That happened before anybody claimed to be "Palestinian." The portion allotted to the Arabs became TransJordan, then Jordan.
Other teachers believe the portion about "dividing up the land" was accomplished centuries ago by those who conquered Israel over the years.
Others think it was a two fold prophecy, it has been historically fulfilled centuries ago and has been fulfilled recently with the creation/partitioning of the state of Israel by the British in 1918 and since.
