The Romans gave Judea the name “Syria Palestina” in the AD 100s, probably as an insult to the Jewish rebels who had been fighting against Roman rule.

Yes but until recent times the term “Palestinian” referred to Jews living in the land now referred to as “Palestine”. Arabs calling themselves “Palestinians” had no historical basis before Arafat and his gang of lunatics.
