So when Emperor Titus wiped out Israel and named the area Palastenia he was basically admitting his invasion.

Yep. Since the Philistines were Israel’s enemy he so named it; but that didn’t create a state of Palestine. That area was ruled first by Israel, then the Romans, then the Ottomans then the Brits who called it the Mandate, then the UN vote to reestablish the area as Israel, then came the Arab invasion, then Israel won and on several other occasions.

PS: Titus didn’t actually wipe out Israel, there were always Jews in the region with their own towns. The Romans conquered it then ruled it until the Ottomans kicked them out.
