@Dnordfors@nytimes Romans called all the land Syria-Palestine all of 1st C. Official change in maps/docs came after 130. -
@rezaaslan@Dnordfors@nytimes Didn´t the Emperor Hadrian change the name after the Second Century Jewish revolt to dejudify the area? -
@Anglozion76@rezaaslan@nytimes Wikipedia: "Pontius Pilate was the fifth Prefect of the Roman province of Judaea" (not Palestine) -
@Dnordfors@Anglozion76@nytimes Do you know the difference between a province and the region? PS. Jesus was from Galilee no Judea. -
@rezaaslan@Anglozion76@nytimes Hadrian got 'Palestine' from Philistia, non-Jewish land existing 1175-722 BC. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistia
