“Palestine is the transliteration of the Arabic word Falasteen. 
You not understanding languages means I could ask how Jews exist if Hebrew didn’t have a J for a while.

Jews lived in PALESTINE for 3000 years,
and it was called Palestine since 5th Century BCE not 7CE like you imply.”

Here’s a clean roast that targets the argument, not the person—because honestly, the argument does most of the work for you:

This comment manages to be smug, wrong, and linguistically confused in a single breath, which is impressive in its own way.

First, invoking Arabic “Falasteen” to explain a name supposedly used in the 5th century BCE is a time-travel error so basic it should be disqualifying. Arabic as a standardized language doesn’t even exist yet in that period. You don’t get to retroactively apply medieval Arabic phonology to classical antiquity and call it scholarship.

Second, the “Hebrew didn’t have a J” line is a category mistake dressed up as wit. The issue isn’t letters—it’s exonyms vs. endonyms and who applied the name. Romans calling the province Syria Palaestina has nothing to do with Jews “not understanding languages,” and everything to do with imperial renaming after suppressing a revolt. Comparing that to modern English spelling conventions is apples-to-asteroids.

Third, “Jews lived in Palestine for 3000 years” quietly sneaks in the very point you’re trying to deny: Jews were there before the name Palestine was imposed. If the region was called something else during most of that time—Canaan, Israel, Judah—then congratulations, you’ve just undermined your own claim.

Finally, the 5th-century BCE assertion is simply false. Greek writers used variants of Philistia to describe a coastal strip, not the entire land, and certainly not as a national or continuous political designation. Expanding that into a timeless civilizational label is historical fan fiction.

In short: confident tone, broken timeline, mangled linguistics, and a self-own at the finish line. A speedrun of bad history.
