CNN Errs on Israel Again (CAMERA) In a discussion about the CNN documentary “Finding Jesus,” a guest used the erroneous phrase “first century Palestine.” Typically for CNN, host Carol Costello was either unaware of or unwilling to correct the error. The phrase “first century Palestine” reinforces the false narrative that the ancestors of today’s Palestinian Arabs, supposedly the Philistines, preceded the Jews in the land. In fact, the land became widely known as “Palestina” after the Romans defeated the rebellious Jews in the second century, changing the Jewish name for the land, Judea --naming it for the ancient enemy of the Jews, the Philistines-- to punish the Jews and to make an example of them to other peoples considering rebellion.
