it was a name the European Greeks gave to the land of the philistines over 3500 years ago. Are you fucking THICK or what?
Then why does he say "British"?
Dude, I asked you to prove to me how Arab Palestiians go tback to the land over 3000 years ago and you pasted a partial quote (intentionally) which after i posted its entirety it was referring to THE PHILISTINES. You are dishonest in every way possible.Ok, so no serious answers so far.
I am surprised.
I am always puzzled that anyone thinks they "win" a debate by running away from it.

Next you changed the subject to "the origins of the name Palestine".
As I told you before you are your own worst enemy. Your arrogance has blinded you.

Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please acknowledge that you now understand this.
The adjective Palestinian is comparatively new. This, I need hardly remind you, is a region of ancient civilizations and of deep-rooted and often complex identities. But Palestine was not one of them. People might identify themselves for various purposes, by religion, by descent, or by allegiance to a particular state or ruler, or sometimes locality. But, when they did it locally it was generally either the city and immediate district or the larger province, so they would have been Jerusalemites or Jaffaites or the like, or Syrians, identifying with the larger province of Syria.
The constitution or the formation of a political entity called Palestine which eventually gave rise to a nationality called Palestinian and the reconstitution of Jerusalem is the capital were, it seems to me, very important, and as it turns out, lasting innovations of the British Mandate [1918-1948].

Wikipedia, not exactly a scholarly source
it was a name the European Greeks gave to the land of the philistines over 3500 years ago
British changed the name to Palestine Mandate.
Um...right.
So then the name Palestine was not used PRIOR to the British changing the name to Palestine.
Except - obviously - the British did not name the mandate, the League of Nations did.
And secondly, the word 'Palestine' had been used for 600 years by the Romans et al.
So again - WHY does Maryland claim the British INVENTED the word Palestine?
Just like the Arabs changed the name of Judeah and Samaria after 3000 years to "West Bank". Is it still Judeah and Samaria or not?it was a name the European Greeks gave to the land of the philistines over 3500 years ago

Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British first called south Syria/Israel "Palestine" after collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War I.
Which was the name for the land of the Philistines.
For Arabs, the term Palestine was unacceptable...For Muslims it was alien and irrelevant but not abhorrent in the same way as it was to Jews. The main objection for them was that it seemed to assert a separate entity which politically conscious Arabs denied. For them there was no such thing as a country called Palestine. The region which the British called Palestine was merely a separated part of a larger whole [Syria] For a long time organized and articulate Arab political opinion was virtually unanimous on this point.
The name Palestine had never been used by Jews, for whom the normal name of the country, from the time of the Exodus to the present day, was Eretz Israel.
At first, the country of which Palestine was a part was felt to be Syria. In Ottoman times, that is, immediately before the coming of the British, Palestine had indeed been a part of a larger Syrian whole from which it was in no way distinguished whether by language, culture, education, administration, political allegiance, or any other significant respect. The dividing line between British-mandated Palestine and French-mandated Syria-Lebanon was an entirely new one and for the people of the area was wholly artificial. It was therefore natural that the nationalist leadership when it first appeared should think in Syrian terms and describe Palestine as southern Syria
With the British conquest in 1917-1918 and the subsequent of a mandated territory in the conquered areas, Palestine became the official name of a definite territory for the first time since the early Middle Ages. To begin with, this designation was acceptable neither to Jews not ro Arabs. From the Jewish point of view it restored a name associated in the Jewish historic memory with the largely successful Roman attempt to destroy and obliterate the Jewish identity of the land of Israel. It was a name which had never been used in Jewish history or literature, and the very associations of which were hateful. From the outset, Jews living under the Mandate refused to use this name in Hebrew but instead used what had become the common Jewish designation of the country---Eretz Yisrael, the land of Israel. After a long battle, it was agreed that the official designation of the country in Hebrew on postage stamps, coins, etc would be Palestina, transcribed into Hebrew letters but followed by the abbreviation "aleph yod" For Jews, this was a common abbreviation for Eretz Yisrael. To Arabs, it could be presented as standing for Eretz Ishmael, the land of Ishmael.
