And, neither do you.

See where the NT map says “Philistines”? That word became “Palestine”. Maps from that era don’t have “Scotland” either, but I think we can agree that Scotland exists today. I don’t see Haifa or Tel-Aviv on those maps either. There also isn’t a nation-state of Israel on those maps.
Israel has a right to exist, as any modern nation has a right to exist, not because of ancient maps but because it exists today.
The UN maps usually show an area called “Palestine” which shouldn’t surprise anyone since we all know that it is a Marxist organization bent on destroying the Judeo-Christian civilization.
The UN is our greatest enemy because it disguises itself as a lamb.
I think it’s pertinent to elaborate on your comment with an explanation of ‘philistine’:
It’s a Roman slur given to the Province of Iudaea after the Jewish Roman Wars. The Philistines were wiped out by Alexander and those that weren’t became Macedonian slaves. Palestinians are so far removed from Philistines it’s abjectly pathetic of them to have adopted (er, ‘stolen’) the name.
Post-Roman era, Israelites were the Palestinians. Oh, the irony. I so love to make those points in the middle of liberal conversations on Israel.
Israel’s right to exist is the prerogative of Yehova, and no one else.
It is the Rock of Offence to all who seek to come between Israel and Yehova’s will.
