You see any place named palestine on this administrative map of the Ottoman Empire, or did Ottoman Muslims obliterate it?

The Palestinians were PHILISTINES. You need to read the Bible some more.

Judges 16:20 KJV: And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

Um, Philistines were related to Greeks and have been extinct for thousands of years. Bible says they came from Crete. D’oh!

In other words before the State of Israel was established there was no state called Israel either..

So what? Until recently there were no countries named Belarus, Slovakia and Slovenia either. Also, the Romans called it Palestine, so it really doesn't matter what late comers like the Ottomans called it.

It is what the British called the Jewish state when they had the mandate

Romans called the country Judea, signifying land of the Jews.

 

[Sunni Man]

Romans called the country Judea, signifying land of the Jews.

But after the failed Bar Kochba rebellion of the Jews in 132 CE.
The Roman's kicked all jews out of the land and renamed it Philistia, which later was anglicized into Palestine. ....

Maybe try reading a history book? Romans never “kicked all Jews out.” In fact, Jews were granted Roman citizenship. Jerusalem Talmud was written where?

You‘re a modern moron.

Roman Emperor Caracalla granted citizenship to Jews in 212 CE. Now, even you know!

Just because you're losing the debate is no reason to be rude. ..

I sure don't see any place named Israel on the map. ...

That is very true, but that was because The Ottoman Empire existed for 4 centuries until 1918, the Britain took over control of the region, from HISTORY:

The Balfour Declaration
From 1517 to 1917, Israel, along with much of the Middle East, was ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

But World War I dramatically altered the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East. In 1917, at the height of the war, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour submitted a letter of intent supporting the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The British government hoped that the formal declaration—known thereafter as the Balfour Declaration—would encourage support for the Allies in World War I.

When World War I ended in 1918 with an Allied victory, the 400-year Ottoman Empire rule ended, and Great Britain took control over what became known as Palestine (modern-day Israel, Palestine and Jordan).

The Balfour Declaration and the British mandate over Palestine were approved by the League of Nations in 1922. Arabs vehemently opposed the Balfour Declaration, concerned that a Jewish homeland would mean the subjugation of Arab Palestinians.

The British controlled Palestine until Israel, in the years following the end of World War II, became an independent state in 1947.

Palestine was named for a REGION, from HISTORY

What Is Palestine?
Until 1948, Palestine typically referred to the geographic region located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Arab people who call this territory home have been known as Palestinians since the early 20th century. Much of this land is now considered present-day Israel.

Palestine is a European name, not Middle Eastern. No place palestine has ever actually existed.

 

[Picaro]

The local Aryan land owners considered themselves Syrians. Where the migrants came from isn't of any importance, since they weren't locals. The region was part of the Ottoman province of Greater Syria.

You zionist Juden get all hung up on the name of the land.
There was obviously Arab people who had lived on the land for many centuries.
What name you label them with isn't really a big deal. ...
