Isreal had been a unified nation for less then 150 years, and received it power from the beast. Palestine was a nation for more than 2500 years untill the beast resurrected it in 1947.
The God of Moses and the Jews is Satan, read your bible, with a pure heart.

Palestine (from Latin: Palaestina named after the Philistines; פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين Filastīn, Falastīn) is one of several names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River with various adjoining lands. Many different definitions of the region have been used in the past three millennia.
Other English names for this geographical region include: Canaan (Hebrew: כנען), Land of Israel (Hebrew: ארץ ישראל Erets Yisrael), Judea (Hebrew: יהודה yehuda), Holy Land (Hebrew: ארץ הקדש Erets Ha-Kodesh; Latin: Terra Sancta; Arabic: الأرض المقدسة al-Ard al-Muqaddasah[1]) and Cisjordan (not to be confused with the French term for the modern-day West Bank, Cisjordanie).
The term "Palestine" derives from the word Philistine,[2] the name of a non-Semitic ethnic group, originating from Southern Greece, closely related to early Mycenaean civilization.[3] They inhabited a smaller area on the southern coast, called Philistia, whose borders approximate the modern Gaza Strip. Philistia encompassed the five cities of Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath. The Egyptian texts of the temple at Medinet Habu, record a people called the P-r-s-t (conventionally Peleset), one of the Sea Peoples who invaded Egypt in Ramesses III’s reign. This is considered very likely to be a reference to the Philistines. The Hebrew name Peleshet (Hebrew: פלשת Pəléshseth), usually translated as Philistia in English, is used in the Bible to denote their southern coastal region. The Assyrian emperor Sargon II called it the Palashtu in his Annals. The last Philistine cities were destroyed in ca. 604 BCE by Nebuchadnezzar II, King of Babylon, who exiled the remaining inhabitants to Mesopotamia. Thus ended the Philistines political history. People of Philistine origin (living in sites named after Gaza and Ashkelon) continue to live in Babylon until the mid-5th century BCE, but subsequently, there are no further mentions. It can be assumed that from the 5th century and onwards, they disappeared as a distinct cultural and ethnic unit as well. However the name of their land remained. During the Persian Period, the Greek form was first used in the 5th century BCE by Herodotus who wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinêi" (whence Latin: Palaestina, whence English: Palestine). The boundaries of the area he referred to were not explicitly stated, but Josephus used the name only for the smaller coastal area, Philistia. Ptolemy also used the term. In Latin, Pliny mentions a region of Syria that was "formerly called Palaestina" among the areas of the Eastern Mediterranean.
During the Roman period, the Iudaea Province (including Samaria) covered most of Israel and the Palestinian territories. But following the Bar Kokhba rebellion in the 2nd century, as part of a program of ethnic cleansing, the Romans tried to erase the Jewish connection to the land of Judea, and renamed it Syria Palaestina (Latin: Syria Palaestina) (including Judea) and Samaria.[4]
During the Byzantine Period, this entire region (including Syria Palestine, Samaria, and Galilee) was renamed Palaestina and then subdivided into Diocese I and II. The Byzantines also renamed an area of land including the Negev, Sinai, and the west coast of the Arabian Peninsula as Palaestina Salutoris, sometimes called Palaestina III. Since the Byzantine Period, the Byzantine borders of Palaestina (I and II) have served as a name for the geographic area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
