terribly written article. The name of that region went from "The Holy Land" to "Palestine" to "Israel" ??
but at the same time was never called Palestine...

I'm left with a diminished opinion of RedState, unfortunately, as well as the article author. Some history in the link below. Palestine has been around for centuries. To claim otherwise is disingenuous at best, deliberately deceptive most likely.
Outlandish claims to the contrary are readily accepted by those wishing the narrative that "Palestine never existed" were real. The area has had a tumultuous history with a variety of conquerors, so why can't we just state that the area was under UK control in the early 1900s and it was negotiated between them and the zionists to "give the land" to them mid-century?
If the Chinese came over and seized California, then negotiated with Zimbabwe to "give the land" to them, upon which the Zimbabweans rename it to FeySoya, would we say that California and Californians never have existed?

Just a note of some Christian influence there...
"... After Constantine I converted to Christianity early in the 4th century, a new era of prosperity began for Palestine. The emperor himself built a magnificent church on the site of the Holy Sepulchre, the most sacred of Christian holy places; his mother, Saint Helena, built two others—at the place of the Nativity at Bethlehem and of the Ascension in Jerusalem—and his mother-in-law, Eutropia, built a church at Mamre. Palestine began to attract floods of pilgrims from all parts of the empire. It also became a great centre of the eremitic life (idiorrhythmic monasticism); men flocked from all quarters to become hermits in the Judaean wilderness, which was soon dotted with monasteries. ..."
Goliath was a Philistine. If you look at an ancient map of Philistine, you will find a city named Gaza
The British government decided to endorse the establishment of a Jewish home in Palestine. After discussions within the cabinet and consultations with Jewish leaders, the decision was made public in a letter from British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild. The contents of this letter became known as the Balfour Declaration.
Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet
His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours,
Arthur James Balfour
Remember who drew the current borders of the middle east, and established all the bullshit we have seen since.
