I believe the Bible.
You are a soulless Cheney-ite Bloodlusty. A loser redneck.

Again, you need to learn some history and get you head out of your ***!!!
"Most people assume that the name Palestine derives from “Land of the Philistines” (
Peleshetin the Hebrew Bible; see Psalms 60:10; Isaiah 14:29, 31), via the Greek
Palaistinêand the Latin
Palaestina. But there is evidence, both philological and geographical, that questions this traditional attribution. The name Palestine, surprisingly, may have originated as a Greek pun on the translations of “Israel” and the “Land of the Philistines.”Let us first consider the geographical problem. The Greek
Palaistinê and the Latin
Palaestina appear frequently in ancient literature, but for the most part, they appear to refer not to the Land of the Philistines, but to the Land of Israel!"
