lot of nonsense. There was no 2000 year of exile. Jews moved in and out of the area for centuries. They aided pre-Islamic Persians in taking Jerusalem briefly in the 6th Century against the Byzantines. When Caliph Omar captured and later Saladin recaptured Jerusalem, Jews were invited to settle there. The problem came when a colonial ideology of zionism came about in Europe sending colonizers into the area who had no interest in co-existence with the local inhabitants whose genetic ties to land go back thousands of years. As for "Palestine" - it's like Germany and Deutschland. They don't call themselves Palestinians in Arabic but Filistinia. Egyptians named the area Peleset before the Hebrews did who by the way were also intruders - Book of Joshua and Amarna Letters from Jebusite king about Habiru raiders.

@Transformers217 the name Palestine came from Herodotus though it's unlikely he actually named but rather it was the common name in Greek for the whole region that included Judah. The Ancient Egyptians called the region Peleset. As for Hadrian how would a 2nd century Roman Emperor know about a Bibilical enemy which had disappeared over 700 years earlier. It's a historical fallacy assuming people in the past had the same knowledge we do today.
