The Origin of the Name Palestine is older than 135 Ad, its refers to the Philistines, In the fifth century BC, the region of eastern coast of the Mediterranean started being called as “the Philistine Syria”, a term coined by the Greek historian, Herodotus and used in its Greek language form. In AD 135, the Emperor Hadrian blotted out the name “Provincia Judea” and renamed it “Provincia Syria Palaestina”. This was the Latin version of the Greek name. Palestine is there before Ibraham went there.

No, the term Palestine was not coined by the Romans in the second century. From Britannica: "The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv-Yafo and Gaza. The name was revived by the Romans in the 2nd century CE in “Syria Palaestina.”

[@suzannehawes4168]

You are correct with "Palestinian" being a greek version for the jews arch enemies the philistines. Originally, in 1948 the Jews were called "Palestinians". There was a Palestinian orchestra and a Palestinian brigade in WWII.... Yasser Afafat used turn-speak and claimed "palestinian-hood". Read Joan Peters "From Time Immemorial" . The truth has been twisted.

Some top Zionist bloodlines few talk about besides the Rothschilds include the Walton, Dreyfus, Pritzker, Guggenheim, Sackler, Lauder, Oppenheimer, Goldsmith, Montagu, Sassoon, and Warburg families. The Waltons are worth about 160 billion and they make cash bribes to dominate over small businesses. The Waltons were investigated for making cash bribes in Mexico in order to take over. They own Arvest Bank with Jim Walton and Sam Walton as top members. The Dreyfus family are worth billions and own a huge agriculture and distribution company in the Netherlands. They also own a large investment firm in New York and a private bank in Switzerland headed up by its vice-chairman Pierre Dreyfus. The Pritzkers are worth tens of billions and own hotels. They operate in Chicago and support the Clintons. The Guggenheims are very private and own investment firms worth hundreds of billions in the US. The Sacklers are worth over 10 billion and have been exposed for pushing their opiate drugs like oxycodone in the medical industry. The Lauders are worth over 10 billion and Ronald Lauder is the President of the Zionist World Jewish Congress. The Oppenheimers own banks in the US and Germany and diamond companies in South Africa. They are worth over 10 billion. The Goldsmiths are bankers and politicians in the UK and they co-founded what became Paribas a massive international bank. The Montagus are British nobles and both Jewish and Christian. They co-founded the Bank of England and are married with the Dreyfus family. The Montagus helped to purchase land in Palestine and are both British and Israeli Zionists. The Sassoons are very wealthy merchants that have owned banks and merchant companies in Hong Kong and India through the East India Company. James Sassoon is a British Baron and top member of this family. The Warburgs are German bankers with ancestry from Venice. They financed the Nazis, helped to establish the US federal reserve and merged one of their banks to become UBS bank in Switzerland. The Warburgs finance wars. Max Warburg is a top German banker today and runs MM Warburg.

Cont. There was a Jewish population living in Palestine a century ago, but it was tiny--decimated by years of pogroms, emigration, and persecution by the Ottoman rulers. A century ago, increased Jewish immigration spurred riots from the Arabs, culminating with war. This war created both Jewish and Arab refugees. Jewish refugees were integrated by Israel, while Arab refugees were left unintegrated for political purposes. These are the Palestinians in refugee camps throughout the Arab world.

Primarily - the Jews used to have their own state where is Israel is now, but they were conquered and exiled by the Romans. This was back in an era when religion was very closely tied to tribe/peoples/"nationality". Also, ever since then Judaism has stayed hereditary, and didn't try to convert others (unlike Islam and Christianity, which became international). Similar to how Shintoism is a Japanese national & ethnic thing, not just a religion.

[@MohaanJaabir-cz6zs]

[@patrickgpking]

It's not irrelevant, lots of people are critical of Zionism but it must be made clear that you can't simply assume that every Jew is a Zionist and judge them accordingly. In terms of non-Jewish Zionists, they are an interesting and significant category. They largely consist of Evangelical Christians in the USA who wish to see the Jewish people return to Israel in order to bring about the second coming of Christ.
