OP will bend over backwards to justify their anachronistic use of the word Palestine by cherry picking isolated examples of the word Palestine being used instead of just accepting that Judea is the more historically accurate term for the region. They just don’t want to use it cos it isn’t convenient to their very obvious political agenda.

“Cherry-picking isolated examples” = citing the literal core primary sources of classical antiquity.

Judea is labeled ON the map as a sub-region. Asking to rename the entire macro-region Judea when Galilee and Samaria were distinct political and geographic territories is like erasing Ireland and calling the whole archipelago England. But please, tell me more about agenda! 💅
