Allen. You said..." Another way to look at it is that there was never a country called Israel until 1948. As you yourself said, it was called Palestine for 2000 years. That's where the term "Palestinian" comes from. It refers to people who live in or are from Palestine.".....

Check out history just a bit and you will learn that the state of Israel existed in the same place as it is today for 2000 years before the birth of Christ. Also the word palestine did not come into use until about 100 years after the death of Christ and this is the time period when the State of Israel was invaded by Egypt and to add insult to injury Egypt renamed the state of Israel palestine. The word palestine was derived from the word Philistine which was a small country on the coast. The Philistines were long standing enemies of Israel and if you look at a map of that area where you see Gaza is the same area that was known as philistine thousands of years ago.
