Yes, even the author of the piece you critiqued says as much: " The truth
is that Palestine is no more real than Never-Never Land. The first time the
name was used was in 70 A.D. when the Romans committed genocide against the
Jews, smashed the Temple and declared the land of
Israel would be no more."
