Palestine = myth adolf. Just like your bs warming scam. The Romans created Palestine out of thin air to piss of the Israelis/Jews. Your entire life seems to be a scam. Roman Palestine After the destruction of Jerusalem, a legion (X Fretensis) was stationed on the site, and the rank of the provincial governor was raised from procurator to legatus Augusti, signifying a change from equestrian to senatorial rank. Caesarea Maritima, the governor’s residence, became a Roman colony, and, as a reward for the loyalty of the Greeks in the revolt, a new pagan city, Neapolis (modern Nabulus in the West Bank), was founded at Shechem, the religious centre of the Samaritans. The Jews, deprived of the Temple, founded a new religious centre in the rabbinical school of Jamnia (Jabneh). When a revolt broke out in 115 CE, the Roman emperor Trajan appointed the first consular legate of Judaea, Lucius Quietus, to suppress it. The rank of the legate confirms that two legions were stationed in Judaea, one at Jerusalem, the other at Caparcotna in Galilee, and thenceforth the province must have held consular status. In 132 the emperor Hadrian decided to build a Roman colony, Aelia Capitolina, on the site of Jerusalem. The announcement of his plan, as well as his ban on circumcision (revoked later, but only for the Jews), provoked a much more serious uprising, the Second Jewish Revolt, led by Bar Kokhba. It was ruthlessly repressed by Julius Severus; according to certain accounts, almost 1,000 villages were destroyed and more than half a million people killed. In Judaea proper the Jews seem to have been virtually exterminated, but they survived in Galilee, which, like Samaria, appears to have held aloof from the revolt. Tiberias in Galilee became the seat of the Jewish patriarchs. The province of Judaea was renamed Syria Palaestina (later simply called Palaestina), and, according to Eusebius of Caeseria (Ecclesiastical History, Book IV, chapter 6), no Jew was thenceforth allowed to set foot in Jerusalem or the surrounding district. This prohibition apparently was relaxed sometime later to permit Jews to enter Jerusalem one day a year, on a day of mourning called Tisha be-Ava. Although this ban was officially still in force as late as the 4th century CE, there is some evidence that from the Severan period onward (after 193) Jews visited the city more frequently, especially at certain festival times, and even that there may have been some Jews in residence. About the time the Bar Kokhba revolt was crushed (135), Hadrian proceeded to convert Jerusalem into a Greco-Roman city, with a circus, an amphitheatre, baths, and a theatre and with streets conforming to the Roman grid pattern. He also erected temples dedicated to Jupiter and himself (Aelia was his clan name) on the very site of the destroyed Temple of Jerusalem. To repopulate the city, Hadrian apparently brought in Greco-Syrians from the surrounding areas and even perhaps some legionary veterans. The urbanization and Hellenization of Palestine was continued during the reign of the emperor Septimius Severus (193–211 CE), except in Galilee, where the Jewish presence remained strong. New pagan cities were founded in Judaea at Eleutheropolis and Diospolis (formerly Lydda) and at Nicopolis (formerly Emmaus) under one of Severus’s successors, Elagabalus (218–222). In addition, Severus issued a specific ban against Jewish proselytism.

Wharfie, Many Israelis are living on land which formerly belonged to the families of Palestinians, and they want to reclaim that land, just like Native Americans wanted to do here. I had a relative who talked about the things she would do once Korea reunifies and she gets her land back. It's not going to happen. Same thing with Native Americans. Things aren't going back to the way they once were, whatever that looks like. As for what once belonged to Palestinians, they already gave that up long ago when they tried many times to throw the Jews into the sea. Bottom line is that Israel is here to stay. Things aren't going back to the way they once were, again whatever that looks like. I asked that question over and over again. "How can Israel transform itself so that Hamas no longer looks attractive to those oh-so-poor Palestinians?" To date, I have NEVER seen an answer that is workable, other than the two-state solution that has been proposed many times in the past, only for it to be rejected before it was even "tried." Until Palestinians accept the fact that Israel is here to stay, none of their terrorism and none of their disinformation campaigns are going to work. Everything that is happening to them right now is their own damned fault. And yes, that includes the oh-so-innocent "civilians" of Gaza who raised their children in "nurseries" that also held AK-47s and RPGs. Because if you think about it, the terrorists that carried out the October 7th attacks this year were mere children back when Gaza elected Hamas as their leaders back in 2006. They were all raised to become terrorists. They were all raised to kill Jews, rape them, and brag about it to their parents. Now they want to paint themselves as innocent victims? Give me a fuckin' break. One of the most densely populated areas of the Mediterranean, and they had NO CLUE what Hamas was doing? Bullshit. Tenchusatsu
