Well, according to Herodotus, the region included the area called Judea and the Jordan Valley. Therefore, Judeans are technically Palestinians.

Herodotus? I’d like to see your source of that. It was the Romans who named the place Palestine, actually Syria Palestina, in the second century of the common era.

>>There was never in the history of the world a “Palestinian” culture<< ...

No, it's a place. And if you were to move there...you could be a "Palestinian" too

Fifth century BCE. Herodotus...In the 5th Century, he described the region as Palestine.

>>Well I guess another historian heard from.<<

AHA!...And basically, what current countries would that region called Palestine have contained?

according to Herodotus, the region included the area called Judea and the Jordan Valley. Therefore, Judeans are technically Palestinians.

It was the Romans who named the place Palestine, actually Syria Palestina, in the second century of the common era.

So...it's been Palestine for a day or two.

Your ignorance is showing.

So exactly what would you call a long term Japanese immigrant to the region known as Palestine?

Apparently if he converted to Judaism, you'd call him a Jew
