Palestine was a term invented by the British in 1923 (coined by the Roman term 'Palestina', which was near present day Ramallah.) Jordan was also invented by the British, as was Iraq, Syria and most of the Middle East.
I wonder if the term, palestine, may not be similar to the term, chester, simply a reference to the walls of a Roman camp, the palisades.
