Knock off the Salaam impression for two seconds, seriously...In it’s thousands of years of history, the area has had many, many names. Names such as “The Kingdom of Jerusalem”, “Retenu”, “Coele-Syria” and one of those was, indeed, “Palestine”. That is not a judgement on anyone, that is simply a fact of history. It is understood to be a name applied to the area by the Greeks in the Greek language, like English has “Germany” or “Japan”. It was not it’s name on it’s native language... Except given the influence of the Greek language and culture, it sorta became the official name, more so in the Byzantine era. A bit like how everyone calls The Netherlands “Holland” (which is the name of two areas in the country) but they go with it because it attracts tourists. |
