Palestine is Not a State; it is the Name of a Geographical Area

Palestine is a name the Romans created around 135 CE from the Philistines, a seafaring Aegean people who settled on the coast of Canaan. Rome selected this designation to symbolize the elimination of Jewish sovereignty following the Jewish Revolts against Roman rule.

The original Latin term, Philistia, eventually became Palistina or Palestine. Throughout history, Palestine was never an independent Arab state, nor did a distinct Palestinian people emerge during the 1,300 years of Muslim rule under Arab and Ottoman governance. Historical British Mandate documents consistently referenced “the Jews” and “the Arabs” of Palestine—never Palestinians—demonstrating that this concept of Palestinian identity as an exclusively Arab phenomenon was a later fabrication.
