    Actually, it started when the Romans kicked all the Jews out and to spite them renamed the land of Israel to Roman Palestina.

      That is such a warped view on history.

      Even Herodotus was referencing the region as Syria Palaestina, 500 years prior before the Romans merged two provinces together.

      Palestine/Syria was always the name, Judea was only ever a tiny fraction of that land.

      As for the Romans kicking everyone out (realistically they murdered/enslaved most), well no shit. We all have stories of the Romans doing that to our ancestors as well, the Romans and every other empire in history are famously shitty.

      Actually, it started when ooga booga stole his best friend’s favorite rock.

      They’ve been feuding over it ever since.
