That's the root of the entire discussion, and once again, Gwen, you are mistaken. If you're an Arab, or pro-Arab, you would indeed use ""Palestine"", if you're an Israeli or pro-Israeli, you would use ""Eretẓ Yisra'el"" (the land of Israel). Both are anachronisms, while ""Eretz Yisra'el"" pre-dates ""Palestine"". True, it was used for years by Western authors, but is it accurate? no. should it be accepted, when it's obviously a historical mistake? no. If you insist on using anachronisms, it would at least we more fair to write ""the Land of Israel/Palestine"". (  )"
