Matti, I may be angry, but you are ignorant.

Palestine has a rich history that's been shaped by various civilizations, empires, and cultural influences.

Continuity of Palestine as a Geographical Construct:
- Ottoman Period: Despite changes in significance and territorial boundaries, sources from throughout the Ottoman period consistently refer to a place called Palestine (Filistin).
- Crossroads of History: Palestine has a tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. It was inhabited early, saw agricultural communities, and became a center for Christianity during the Roman era.
- Muslim Dynasties: After Muslim conquests, ruling dynasties succeeded each other, including the Rashiduns, Umayyads, Abbasids, Tulunids, Ikhshidids, Fatimids, and Seljuks.
- British Mandate: During World War I, Britain captured Palestine from the Ottomans, leading to the Balfour Declaration and subsequent British rule.
