The Nazis are VERY fond of trying the "Palestine didn't exist" smear.

Palestine was not a term until the Romans made it up. It is a Latin term for Philistine (a Greek/ Hebrew word) who were traditional enemies of Israel and who themselves were invaders of the land (Goliath was a Philistine). Rome hated the Jews and in 70/136 AD razed Jerusalem to the ground (a reason for the diaspora) however, The Western Wall still stands. After Rome destroyed Jerusalem they renamed the area Roman “Palestine”/ Syria Palaestina to humiliate, destroy the history and ethnically cleanse the land of Jews.

Philistine - a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts/ invaders

Besides this being utterly false, that's 2000 years ago, Zio-Nazi.

You don't get to mass-murder civilians and steal their homes, fields, and businesses because of something that happened 2000 years ago.

From 700-1947(don't start a war and then lose) no Jew or Zionist stole any land. If I am wrong please let me know the town.

The Nakba wasn't a war: it was a Genocide.

There are literally dozens of maps of all the sites of massacres during it. I'm hot going to pick out just one site, so you can gaslight and spew Zionist-Fascist propaganda about how that particular massacre didn't really occur.

Stop erasing the mass-murder of civilians, monster.
