That’s true. The land was given the name Palestine by the Roman emperor Hadrian as a deliberate insult to Jews. The name was derived from Israel’s ancient, extinct enemy, the Philistines.

yes - Palestine comes from Palestina/harking back to Roman dominion and conquest. Israel and Judah are biblical names for the area, so authentically Jewish.
