You did not answer my question. Did he ever use the word “Palestinian”?
Yes I did answer your question.
{...
Twain states that “
Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?
Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition – it is dream-land.”
...}
That is right out of "Innocents Abroad".
EVERYONE has always called it Palestine.
What else can it be called?
The choices are the Land of Canaan, the Levant, or Palestine.
It has NEVER been Israel.
When the Hebrew invaded around 1000 BC, there were 3 small Jewish city states, Israel, Judah, and Samaria.
None encompassed even a fraction of Palestine.
That is easily proven because when the Hebrew rules, they did not include coast that was ruled by the Phoenicians and Philistines.
When the Romans recreated Jewish rule over Palestine, they still called it Palestine.
The Jews were not in power until the Romans appointed them as rulers for them.
