@O51887 Yes the name Palestine has been used, this however does not mean that there is or ever was a state called Palestine, there is no evidence to suggest that. The name "Palestine" was used to refer to a region, not a country, Palestine is merely a geographical term just like Scandinavia.

A. D. Godley's 1920 translation of the crucial line states, "This part of Syria as far as Egypt is all called Palestine", while Robin Waterfield's 1998 updated Oxford translationrenders the passage this way: "This part of Syria, all the way to the border with Egypt, is known as Palestine."

"...they live in the coastal parts of Syria; and that region of Syria and all that lies between it and Egypt is called Palestine." (VII.89) The above translation by Harry Carter is featured in the 1958 Heritage Press edition of Herodotus' famous work. Both older and newer versions corroborate the accuracy of the reference.

Specific references to "Palestine" date back nearly five hundred years before "the time of Jesus." In the 5th Century BCE, Herodotus, the first historian in Western civilization, referenced "Palestine" numerous times in chronicle of the ancient world, The Histories, including the following passage describing "Syrians of Palestine":

Around the same time of Ovid another Latin poet Tibullus wrote of "the crowded cities of Palestine" in a section "Messalla’s Triumph" in his poem Delia. We can always pay a visit to public libraries....

,Israel's claim that the change of name of Judea to Palestine was done after Jesus Christ's death is a BIG LIE! Because contemporaries of Jesus were already mentioning the word Palestine in their works, for instance in the first decade of the 1st Century, the Roman poet Ovid mentioned Palestine in both his famed mythological poem Metamorphoses and his erotic elegy The Art of Love. He also wroteof "the waters of Palestine" in his calendrical poem Fasti.

I am not sure if this video is fake or not, but 1 thing I am very sure of is PALESTINE or SYRIA PALESTINE as some ancient people called it, IS NOT A FAKE STATE! I am not against the Jewish People but I hate what they are doing to the Palestinians. Im no Muslim nor a Judaism follower,but if you,people who claimed Palestine is a fake state and never existed, better read all History Books, from Herodotus, Chronicle of the ancient world down to the oldest to the newest bibles, PALESTINE IS THERE.
