Haaretz Service: Maccabee-era relics found near Jerusalem shed light on ancient Jewish warriors
Talkback
Title:Palestine named under Hadrian
Name:Sam
City: State:
If either of you weren`t so outrageously ignorant of Jewish history you would know the Roman province of Judaea was renamed Palestina after the Bar Kochba revolt. That was how it remained known among Europeans until the 1948 partition between Jordan, Egypt and the newly formed state of Israel.

According to your logic, the Germans (country not founded until 1871), no English (national name not adopted until 10th century), the Americans (1776) and every other nationality on the planet isn`t legitimate.

By the way, did you know there wasn`t an Israel for 2,670 years and the name was only chosen two days before May 14, 1948? Does that mean being an Israeli isn`t a legitimate nationality?

By the way, boys, did either of you notice that this find proves Greek predominance in the area?
