Also, there is no way that the z prophet Isaiah would have referred to “Palestine” some 800 years before the Romans began using a term that sounds like it. This is one of many mistranslations of the Hebrew Bible that occur in the Christian version.

It was referred to as Palestina.

I was just checking out if translating “Philistia” (the Pentapolis which existed roughly in Gaza during Isaiah’s time) as “Palestine” was reasonable, when I made a remarkable discovery:

Palistin was a province of Assyria along the Northern coast of Syria. Israel was lumped in with Syria by the Romans.
