Use of word Palestine to call the region[edit]

Tell me if I am wrong bur isn’t the region only called Palestine once the Roman name it Palestina Syria ? Shoudnt there be an intro saying - for easier reading we will call the region Palestine but be aware the name only appeared in the Roman era after Christ ?

No. The first mention of the Palestinian people was found on the wall of an Egyptian tomb, written between 1200-1150 BCE. They are referred to as PLST 65.57.163.130 (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a year notation added to the Second paragraph of the Section on 'Early Israelites and Philistines'

This would change the current version; "Sometime in the 12th century, the Philistines..."

to be this instead; "Sometime in the 12th century BCE, the Philistines..." PcKernel (talk) 09:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Year Notations[edit]

There should be a year notation added to all year references in the section "Hasmonean period"

This would change the current version of the first paragraph; "In 167, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

To be this instead; "In 167 BCE, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

The second paragraph of the current version; "In 164 Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

To be this instead; "In 164 BCE Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

The final sentence of the third paragraph of the current version; "...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 Judea was de facto independent."

To be this instead; ""...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 BCE Judea was de facto independent."

And in the fourth paragraph of the current version; "The Seleucid's continued infighting gave Judea free reigns and from 130 it began to conquer its neighbors. Non-Jews in conquered territory were forcibly converted to Judaism, expelled or made to pay tribute.[167] The Edomites became Jewish,[168] and the Samaritan temple at Mount Gerizim was destroyed.[169] By 100, Judea included the entire Palestinian hinterland from the Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.[170] From 100 to 70 the Hasmoneans conquered many poleis along the coast and in the Transjordan.[171] The warfare and associated plunder made both the Hasmonean kings and Jerusalem's temple institution incredibly rich.[172][lxii]

Change “Palestine is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity” to “the territory covered by modern-day Palestine and modern-day Israel is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity”.

The reason for the change is that current wording is inaccurate. At the time of the formation of either religion the territory was not known as Palestine. When Judaism was born, the territory of Philistia was roughly the size and location of Gaza and not a place Hebrews inhabited. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines When Christianity was formed, the territory was known as (Roman) Judea.

I just deleted the relevant part, rather than complicating the lead. Btw, for the future, WP is not a source, bring sources that support any changes requested. Selfstudier (talk) 17:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
