“I think that way back when the Romans over ran Judea and burned the Temple, they changed the name from Judea to Palestine...to punish the Jews.”
——————-
Actually, the name of the Roman province called Judea was changed to Philistia starting around the year 135, after the unsuccessful Bar Kockba revolt. This was done to punish the Jews, by naming their very land after their ancient enemy, the philistines. Philistia has, over the ensuing, centuries, been bastardized to Palestine.

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.
