In this episode, we explore the ancient history of the land we now call "Palestine." From its early roots in Canaan to the Jewish kingdoms of Judah and Israel, we trace the origins of the name "Palestine" and the Philistines who once lived there. Discover how the Roman Empire reshaped the region, how the concept of a Palestinian national identity developed in the 20th century, and why there was no Palestinian state before then. Uncover the historical layers that led to the complex modern conflict and understand the ancient connections that continue to shape this land today.
