What is now known as the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra started as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra. It's only more recently that "Palestine" was considered exclusively Arab/Muslim.
Palestine used to be used interchangeably with Israel.
Then the Left used “Palestine” to the exclusion of “Israel”
The once named Palestine Symphony Orchestra was:
Founded in 1936 by Polish violinist Bronisław Huberman, as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra and was to provide a safe haven for displaced Jewish musicians fleeing Nazi persecution in Europe.
I seriously doubt any Arab “Palestinians” were part of it. Playing European classical music did not fit their culture.
And most of the time when the term Palestine was used it included lands in the area that cover more than merely what is now Israel.
Palestine was for a very long time an area and not a state itself.
Yes, especially by the British and French Conquerors who wanted to erase the Turkish Ottoman Claims in 1917, as part of the Sykes-Picot Declaration. The British even designated a ‘Palestine’ Passport, but as part of the British Protectorate.
Palestine used to be used interchangeably with Israel.
