You need to read more pre PLO mythology. The Arabs in Palestine saw themselves as Syrians.
For Syria, indeed it is, history books do constantly speak about Badiat al-Sham and when refering to the ruins and castles in it, they're all in northern Jordan.
Now you have a point in some aspects, that is the Syrian nationalists (i.e Baathists) did refer to the whole levant as greater Syria and both Palestine and Jordan were by default southern Syria. However those were in Syria and not in Palestine.
