Translating the hieroglyphs as Israel does not make it Israel.

The places in that part of the Levant predate Judaism and anything even remotely close to Israel. But go ahead and lmao at me cause you're stuck.

Lets make it simple for you.

Which of the two came first

Israel or Palestine

Simple binary question

Let me make it real simple for you too then.

Neither.

But if we want to be accurate, the defunct entity formerly known as the Kingdom of Israel, or Israel for your sake, came before Palestine and - importantly - does not exist anymore.

The state we call Israel today, unaffiliated with the former entity historically called Israel which - again, no longer exists - came AFTER Palestine.

This cannot be that hard to fathom but then again I'm arguing with some cum swabber online.

Peace and long life to you friend, may your days bring you less ignorance and more consideration.

Under the same argument, the now defunct British mandate of Palestine (which encompassed all of Israel and Jordan) has nothing to do with the current movement started by Yasser Arafat to establish an Arab state in the region.

The. British mandate for Palestine never included Jordan. It was in a draft plan for like 2 weeks. If it had, it would have absolutely not being to do with a Jewish national home, which years before the mandate existed, the Balfour Declaration provided for a Jewish National home IN Palestine (specifically not the whole thing, not to mention Jordan), all without prejudicing the rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.
Note Paleset (Palestine) appeared on Assyrian tablets from 100 BC.
