I think those maps showed it as “Palestine (Land of Israel)”, no?

Or maybe it took a while before it processed in my mind. I guess we're on agreement. Southern Germany it is. And ditto for all European countries when appropriate.

In fact the Quran only mentions the land in connection with "Israel" and condemns the Romans. Can we not expect some political correctness and ask today's Romans not to use anti-Semitic terms introduced by their ancestors? Or is that too much to ask from the people of greater Carthago?
