The earliest mention of the Land as Palestine (probably in reference to the Philistines, a non-Arabic, non-Semitic people from the Greek Isles who invaded the southern coast of the Land in the 2nd half of the 12th Century BCE) is by the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th Century BCE.

In contrast, one of the earliest mention of the Land as Israel can be found four hundred years earlier in the 9th Century BCE archaeological find the Mesha Stele commissioned by the king of Moab (present-day Jordan) which mentions Israel and a king of Israel, namely, Omri. The Mesha Stele aka Moabite Stone is housed at The Louvre in Paris, France.

Israel precedes Palestine. The Land is called Israel and the Land belongs to the Jewish People.

Elaborate.
