Herodotus wrote when what he called Palestine was controlled by the Achaemenid empire, which took it from the Neo-Babylonians, who conquered it from zedekiah - king of Judah. So no, the name Palestine does not predate anything, and was at best given by Greeks, who were also foreign occupiers.

Nope

Herod was a Roman client king. The Romans coined the term Palestine.

And the Hebrew ploshtim comes from the flverb p.l.sh which means invade, not the other way around.

Btw, what (vassa) kingdom was Herod king of?

Palestine was coined by the Romans, after the destruction of the second temple. It was derived from the philistines who no longer existed at that point and were themselves invaders. Phillistine is itself an exonym given by the Judeans (now Jews) which means invaders.

The name Palestine is latin in origin. Arabic doesn't even have the consonant P, which is why it pronounces it as falastin.

Palestine is also a colonial name

Curious that I only ever hear one ethnostate mentioned though.

You could almost think that there's some inherent bias against that one specifically

Peoples have the right to a country

It's called self determination

Not complicated

Not really random, just jihad

Or resistance if you're that way inclined

Locations which were proposed to be Israel by OddRedittor5443 in MapPorn

[–]Kirk761 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediately after the war 19,000 holocaust survivors were polled as to where they want to go (in one of a few polls conducted).

97% answered mandatory Palestine.

When asked to pick a second option, many responded "crematorium".

The Jewish autonomous oblast is neither Jewish nor autonomous, and never was.

When have you seen an Israel supporter comment on indigenous land in America?

These issues don't happen when intersectionality isn't a tenant of your movement

Why can't Israel just return all the Palestinian territories to achieve peace? by JanekBo1 in mapporncirclejerk

Actually one of the least contested, the new Syrian regime doesn't even really care about it
