Whose land?

[MartyNYC]

Well. it sure was nice of them to go to Palestine and build Haifa, Jaffa, Gaza, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Bethlehem...

The name Palestine is Hebrew in origin: Plsth. Jaffa also Hebrew in origin: Joppa. Gaza, too: Aza. And, Nazareth: Netzer. Bethlehem: Beit Lechem. Hebrew is the language of which people?

Uhh, OK, if you say so.

Uhh, OK, if you say so.

What does it signify that the names Palestine, Gaza, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jaffa are Hebrew in origin? Jews have lived there dating back thousands of years.

Jews have one of the longest histories—if not the longest— as a distinct people with a continuous identity expressed in language, culture, genealogy, and religion. The Hebrews or Israelites of antiquity have survived when other peoples—Canaanites, Jebusites, Philistines, Hittites, Babylonians, Moabites etc. had long since vanished from the stage of history.
