Incorrect.
Believed to be derived from Egyptian/Hebrew "Peleshet" referring to the area of the Philistines, after the Bar Kokhba uprising, the Romans renamed Judea, Palestina, in an attempt to weaken Judean connection to the area.
From Wikipedia:
"Syria Palaestina or Roman Palestine, a Roman province (135–390 CE), a province of the Roman Empire following merger of renamed Iudaea with Roman Syria
Palaestina Prima, a Byzantine province in the Levant from 390 to c. 636, comprising the Galilee and northern Jordan Valley
Palaestina Secunda, a Byzantine province in the Levant from 390 to c. 636, comprising the shoreline and hills of the Southern Levant (Judea and Samaria)
Palaestina Salutaris alias Palestina Tertia, a Byzantine province established in the 6th century, covering the Negev and Transjordan
Jund Filastin (638 – 10th century), one of the military districts of the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphate province of Bilad al-Sham (Syria)
Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem or Palestine (1872–1917), an Ottoman district that encompassed Jerusalem, Gaza, Jaffa, Hebron, Bethlehem and Beersheba
Mandatory Palestine (1920–1948), a geopolitical entity under British administration"
Mind you, it has spent more time under that name than it has with Judea or Israel as actual existing entities.
To refer to the Palestinians as "the real evil" is also incorrect. Regardless of what their nickname as a people or what maps have dubbed the land, they HAVE BEEN there CONTINOUSLY for thousands of years. The modern movement to reestablish Zion WAS an invasionary colonial effort that began a century ago after almost 1800 year stay in Europe.
I'm not saying the Jewish population should up and leave, just giving the background.
If you believe people are should to be able to live in peace in their own land and be able to defend themselves, you cannot fault people for trying to do so. That means BOTH Palestinians AND Israelis.
Before you think I'm siding with this asswipe, I've bopped heads with him since late last year under diff accounts he's had, and more recently with another name that some of us dv crippled, hence this new account.
I'm not justifying Islamic terrorsists, just stating that double standards for murder and terror on account of which side you're on is hypocrisy.
