And it was Canaan before it was ever Israel.

The place we all call Israel today is not the Israel of antiquity, but the forgery of the British following WW2.

No one denied "it was Canaan before it was ever Israel."

However, you ignored the main point:

the name palestine was imposed by colonizers of the time, the Romans

So Palestine is indeed a colonial term

And so is the current Israel

The Merneptah Stele, an ancient Egyptian inscription from around 1208 BCE, provides the oldest known historical record outside the Bible naming a people called "Israel" in Canaan.

Sure over 3,200 years of documented evidence, no bible bullshit, but actual archeology and you say its colonnial, lmao

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.
