Mike is a Christian, and he is 100% correct from the perspective of Jews or Christians, because the name "Palestine" was originally coined by 2nd century pagan Roman Emperor Hadrian, in an effort to erase forever the name that God gave to the land.
PALESTINE AND PALESTINIANS
Anyone who calls the land Palestine, whether they know it or not, is parroting a Roman pagan emperor rather than using the name that YHWH assigned to the land as confirmed by the Old Testament or New (with the name itself occurring 2566 times).
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Matthew 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. 21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.[/FONT]
Hadrian slaughtered Jews and tried to erase the name Israel because he hated Jews. No surprise that Muhammad's followers favor Hadrian's name for the land. And is it a surprise that with Frankenstein's Roman church supersessionist inspired antizionism, he would be inclined toward parroting a Roman pagan in an antizionist desire to erase the name Israel too?
REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY OR SUPERSESSIONISM
FearGod, simply consider the company that both he and you keep. Any wonder that it seems antizionists were reluctant to comment on the related thread?

I am jewish.
Palestine as you said was coined by the romans. It means Phillistines whom have nothing to do with the present day arabs living in judea and samaria.
"Palestine" was part of the british empire. Before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire.
4/5ths of the actual british palestine is Jordan. Therefore, the arabs in judea and samaria already have a state in Jordan.
Below is a summary of the conflict.

Israel also has about 1.5 million Israel arab citizens whom have full rights. Their standard of living is greater than any arab country.
