This episode provides a short and succinct history of Palestine as a place and a name. Before the current borders of Gaza and the West Bank were ever created, Palestine was known by people from Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Muslim Empires of old. Join me as we trace back thousands of years of Palestine’s history from then unto the present day.
