Are you for real? « Palestine » is the name the Romans gave « Judea » after quelling the Jewish uprising and annexing it. Judaism predates Palestine by a few centuries at the very least. And that’s a conservative estimate.

Not that any of this matters in 2023 to determine rights and wrongs. But confidently spewing nonsense and historical fallacies is not helpful.

The Dome of the Rock is in Occupied Palestinian Territory (East Jerusalem) under international law. How is showing a Palestinian flag flying above a mosque used by Palestinians offensive to Jewish people? It's odd that the article is alleges the existence of Israel is denied but then puts Palestine in quotation marks, as though it doesn't exist.

It's not though, this is in the UK and UKLFI never says the people offended were Israeli. They said they filed the complaint "on behalf of some Jewish patients" who felt victimized. UKLFI's complaint specifically says they felt victimized because they are Jewish: "it is offensive for Jewish people to see a Palestinian flag over their holiest site."
