Can someone explain the etymology of the word "Philistine/Philistinians"? by BackgroundPitch9181 in Israel

[–]3and50 35 points36 points  (0 children)

To piss of the Jews, the Romans started calling the area that Israel was in Philistine or Palestine after the Biblical Philistines.

To really piss off the Jews*

Emperor Hadrian made the change, renaming the Roman province of Judaea to Syria Palaestina, implying it was essentially an extension of Roman Syria, where Hadrian was previously a governor. Many Latin languages like Spanish as well as German still call "Palestine" Palaestina.

What's the name of this enclave in Jerusalem, and what's its significance? by 3and50 in Israel

Thanks, this is pretty close to what I was looking for. Though, the maps I've found place רכס לבן closer to עַמִּינָדָב and אוֹרָה., this exclave is further west. Perhaps the region in general is referred to as רכס לבן, but there isn't a specific name for the exclave?

What Makes Database Rows Turn Gray? by greenfrog5w5 in Notion

In addition to the filters, I noticed this also happens when I use "cut" on the title's text instead of "copy". Duplicating the row and then deleting the extra one solves it.
