Hadrian wanted to punish & humiliate the Jews who refused to
worship Roman gods. He decided to change the names of the correct geographical areas of JUDEA & SAMARIA, to Palaestina/Palestine.

only arrived in the 7th Century, from Arabia, where they had slaughtered the 3 Jewish tribes. The Arabs invaded, occupied & colonised the Middle East, mistreated the Jews who became second-class "dhimmis" & forced to wear the Yellow Badge, which originated in Damascus, Syria.
Until 1964, JEWS were Palestinians, that is, until the former USSR reinvented Yasser Arafat, born in Egypt, as "leader of the Palestinians"! The Arabs, in Arabic, reject the idea of Palestine:

What you are NOT entitled is your own facts! When the British colonial creation, Jordan, illegally occupied a part of JUDEA, they renamed it "West Bank!" Between 1949 -

67, no Arab suggested that this land was to be another Arab/Palestinian state. It was only after the Arabs lost another war & Israel liberated Jerusalem, did the term "occupied Palestinian territories" creep into discourse. The land you call Palestine is JEWISH JUDEA & SAMARIA!
