“ The first written records referring to Palestine emerged in the 12th-century BCE Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt, which used the term Peleset for a neighboring people or land.”
Note: I believe the written records came from Egypt, and those written records referred to what is now Palestine using the term "Peleset". Does that help clarify things? Staraction (talk | contribs) 23:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
this is supposed to be called israel as people don’t know the fact that the roman’s renamed the land palestine

"Gaza's population is expected to increase to 2.1 million people in 2020" outadedness[edit]
It's 2024, we need to change the tense of that statement and/or verify whether or not the prediction came true. Polishedrelish (talk) 04:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is the current main image really the best option, as opposed to, say, a medieval map showing Palestine? For me it seems to overemphasize the 20th century mandatory Palestine delineation, while the green lines are frankly a little bit hard to understand. Also, this is specifically not an article about the occupied territories, so why are those also on the map? I suspect that for a lot of newcomers this makes it altogether more muddling and confusing than a more simple image might. I'm not convinced this means it performs as the lead image (as what one expects to see for this topic, as in other tertiary sources) particularly well.

I don't think it is possible to understand the green lines from the information given. Zerotalk 15:27, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
