'''Palestine''' (from Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשת‎ Pleshet, פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين‎ Filastīn, Falastīn) is a name sometimes given to part of the land that generally comprises the [[Promised Land]] given to the [[Israelites]] / [[Jews]] in the [[Bible]]. Though historically [[Jews]] did reside there, it is not directly associated with the Jewish promise, as it is a geopolitical designation more than a religious one. Palestine was a later name for the province of Judea in the [[Roman Empire]], who ruled the Jewish people at that time.<ref>http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_early_palestine_name_origin.php</ref> The Romans also renamed Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina.

After the [[Romans]] renamed Israel as Syria Palestina in 132-135 AD, Palestine is one of many names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan. Many different definitions of the region have been in usage in the past three thousand years.

Many different definitions of the region have been in usage in the past three thousand years. It was never an Arab state, and much of it's history has been falsified by the Palestinian movement and its sympathizers in order to to create a new identity to give the Arab nations a new weapon to use to fight against the nation of [[Israel]].
