Why is the term "Palestine" used for Judea or Israel?
Klinghoffer should know better. Or is Beliefnet openly palestinianist?

I've no idea, other than convention. "Israel" signifies a people primarily rather than a land. But today's "palestinians" named themselves after the land, not vice versa. Besides, prior to statehood the Jews were called "Palestinians!"
