The land that included multiple Roman Provinces that included Judea was called Palestine.
I live in North America but I never call myself a North American. But I am.
Your self definition is determined by what, exactly? If you don't mind me asking
We know the land was called Palestine by the writings of Greeks like Herodotus and Jesus contemporaries like Josephus.
yes---a large area of land was called "palestine" by Herodotus-----it included the land
once occupied by "philistines" who were aegean people------and also Israel/Judea,
large parts of lebanon and what is today Syria SO? The romans
continued to use the term Palestina ------and JOSEPHUS who lived in rome----also
used that term. Later on----the term Palestina was used to describe what was
generally the erstwhile Israel/Judea-----by the ROMANS -----and by the rest of the
world and------for almost 2000 years EVERY PERSON CALLED A PALESTINIAN----was a
JEW LIVING IN PALESTINE -------sometime in the 1960s -----arab muslims stole the
term for themselves SO????? If I call myself a MARTIAN ----does
that make me the owner of MARS?. Josephus was a pharisee jew as was Jesus-----
and an ardent zionist. I once read a bit about Josephus written by an idiot of the calibre
of our board lawyer. He decided that although he LOVED THE WRITINGS of JOSEPHUS----that JOSEPHUS made a "mistake" (just a mistake) by his fervent
praise of the PHARISEES poor sherri-----so desperate
for the record----the romans renamed SHECHEM----"NEOPOLIS" which the
current arab invaders occupying that town blurred into "nablus"-----since the desert
garble of arabia excludes the "P" sound -------The romans did not call Jeruslaem
"AL QUDS" they called it AEOLIA CAPATOLINA
iS THAT IDIOT LAWYER STILL PLAYING WORD GAMES? poor idiot is desperate
