Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138 BC) cursed the Jewish People and decreed that Judea should be henceforth called “Palestine” after the Philistines, an ancient enemy of Israel that had disappeared from the world’s stage more than 600 years earlier. The Philistines weren't in the land (Kingdoms of Israel and Judah) from the time of Nebuchadnezzar in 603 BC. He exiled them. There were no Philistines anymore. Hadrian renamed Judea, Palistina because he heard it from someone or read about them in the Bible and that they were the biggest enemies of the Jews. He wanted to stab the Jews and make it more painful because there was an uprising against him. The Palestinians became Palestinians much later. Jews came to the British Mandate of Palestine. It is the name the Brits decided to use for the territory (not nation) to not look like their specifically supporting the Jews. There never was a “Palestinian” people. It is such a successful fabrication that many otherwise informed people have been duped and mislead. This propaganda has become a powerful weapon used by Israel’s enemies, the Arabs, to try to conquer Israel without firing a shot, without an army, tanks or jets. The Jewish People eventually bested Hadrian. They returned to their land and reestablished sovereignty over it. They rebuilt Jerusalem as their capital, and resettled desolate Judea. They did all this only to now confront the reincarnated curse of Hadrian in the guise of Arabs renaming themselves “Palestinians” and claiming all the ancient Land as their own.
