- cholantesh 1y agoThey mean the name that has been used for the region for much of human history.
- quickthrowman 1y agoHow is that relevant? Yes, the name Palestine is derived from the Philistines who used to inhabit the area 3500 years ago. The region has been urbanized for 7-9k years and inhabited by many different groups. Jews, Greeks, Romans, Muslims, and I’m sure there’s more. It has an exceedingly complex history.
