>There were no “Palestinian Jews” when Jesus lived. There were only Jews living in Roman Occupied Judea.

That’s why I used a lowercase p, I was referring to the [Jews living in the] area not the people-group.

The area was not called "Syria Palestina" until 139CE, when the Romans tried to deJudaize the area after the Bar Kochba revolt. It is a little like calling Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina . It is anarchronistic and insulting.
