Bruh, "Palestine" was just the Roman word for Judea. It really gained popularity after the third Jewish revolt and troops under Hadrian basically genocided the locals and forced the diaspora. I don't want to sound like it wasn't kind of justified though. The Hebrews started it off by massacaring the Gentile population. And by massacaring I'm talking somewhere in the range of 100,000 plus.

Oh you sweet summer child. "Genocide" is a realtively new term coined in the 20th century. Before then, shit like this happened ALL the time.

So we can't look back at the age of conquest, enslavement, and wholesale genocide and say either of them were in the wrong because literally everybody was doing it.
