Bashara correctly points out that "Palestine" was considered the Southern part of Greater Syria by the Ottoman Empire. In fact, the Alawite Muslim Nazis in Syria still consider it part of Greater Syria. Historically the Greater Land of Israel has been called Greater Syria by Arabs and the Land of Israel by Jews. This includes all of present day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Lebanon is completely within the Land of Israel even according to the tribal areas West of the Jordan River, no different than the Northern Galilee. The Golan Heights and probably parts of Syria as well as parts of Jordan are parts of the tribal areas East of the Jordan River. The rest of Syria and Jordan up to the Euphrates River are the Greater Land of Israel in Messianic times and also during the reign of King Solomon.
The British resurrected the name "Palestine" which was invented by the Romans. For some reason, Secular historians like to call the region "Palestine" even when discussing Ancient History when it was still Canaan long before the Jews or even the Philistines (Which the Romans based the name on.) lived there.
Prior to 1948, the only people calling themselves "Palestinians" were Jewish residents of the "British Mandate of Palestine".
