The name 'Palestine' originated from a Greek word describing the coast, first mentioned by Herodotus, and was later adopted by the Romans after conquering the region to insult the Jewish population, as it derives from the Hebrew word for 'invaders' (Philistines); the indigenous population of the land was the Hebrews, Jews, and Israelites, who were colonized by various empires throughout history until the modern revival of Israel.

Palestine: Ancient History & Zionist Congress Debates #shortsAdded:
I also want to say that we wanted to look at the word of Palestine. I know you were like mentioning that this came from the Romans. Actually Herodotus, the father of history, mentioned Palestine eight times. It actually comes from a Greek word describing the coast. So, this isn't a term that came from the Romans of colonizing and we actively see Zionism was Palestine wasn't even the first option.
Why did the Zionist 6th Congress consider Uganda and Argentina? That is a colonial project.
>> Okay, so let me answer to those things cuz you said a lot of things. Herodotus that you're bringing up is a Greek person. The pre-Greek population in Crete were the Palestinians. So, obviously the collective that is now the Greek Empire would like to call other territories as part of their territory and would call that land Palestine. But, the the moment that that land really became called Palestine is the moment that the Romans conquered, which is which is way which is I'll let you I'll let you I'll let you finish. Way after the Greek Empire is the Romans and in order to insult the memory of the Jews, they called that name Palestine. And why? Cuz that's actually also a Hebrew word, which means invaders. Now, I don't consider you to be an invader, but you should know that the Philistine Palestinian literally in Hebrew means invaders. Now, you talked about colonization, decolonization, indigenous populations. On the territory that was the indigenous population being the Hebrews, the Jews, the Israelites, that was colonized by different empires.
There was never a country that was built on top of it since. It was always in the hand of foreign empires until it was revived to being the land of Israel.
Now, I do support indigenous liberations all across the world. The Tibetans, the Yazidis, the Kurds, the Aboriginals.
Now, there's different types of indigenous liberations. Some populations want a state. Some populations don't want a state.
