Palestine, Israel In Controversy Over King Herod's Tomb

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

"part of Palestine"? There is no established Palestine. You are talking about "Judea and Samaria" (based on thousands of years of Jewish history), or, if you prefer, "the West Bank" (based on a mere 20 years of Jordanian Arab rule - though the Jordanians no longer lay claim to it). So, is this the new ruse used by liberal publications -- to name a territory under Israeli control "Palestine"? It has never been recognized internationally as such. I guess the Huff Post wants it to be that way, so makes up names and allots lands to whomever it wants in its articles. It's not journalism though. It's just leftist/Islamist propaganda.

While the US government doesn't recognize the state of Palestine, the governments of 130 nations do.

Palestine is perfectly identifiable by people over a certain age or people who know some pre-1940s history.
