What's the purpose of this post? what point is being made other than places have names given to them by people? which is just a truism.Um, palestine is, in essence, Israel. It was a fictional Roman name imposed on ancient Israel, later adopted by European Christians. The British called the British Mandate “palestine“ which became the modern state of Israel.
There was no entity palestine in the 400 years of the preceding Ottoman Empire.
Palestine not very authentic.

There are UN resolutions that use the term "Palestinian territories".There are no palestinian territories. People name territories.
The name stems from the people who dwelled in the region named "Philistines" who descended from the people before that known as "Canaanites".Ironic, palestine originated as a Roman name imposed on Jews, in retribution for the Jewish Revolt against Roman occupation. Later, European Christians adopted the name and it stuck. Nothing to do with Arabs or any Middle Eastern people. Had Jews not rebelled, there would be no palestine or palestinians today.
