A new study: The Legal Foundations of Israel and the Origins of the Name “Palestine”

Please share our story!


Last week, the Centre for the Study of Political Islam International released a landmark study on the legal foundations of Israel and the origins of the name “Palestine.”

Drawing on a wealth of historical documents and archaeological evidence, this comprehensive study examines the millennia-long presence of the Jewish people in the land that now constitutes the State of Israel – beginning as early as 1200 BC – and traces developments up to the issuance of internationally recognised legal documents affirming Jewish sovereignty.

The following is a press release from the Centre for the Study of Political Islam International (“CSPII”) dated 8 October 2025.

Study on the Legal Foundations of Israel and the Origins of the Name “Palestine”

This project, which spanned five years, presents a chronological survey of Jewish life on the territory of modern Israel. The earliest reference to “the Land of Israel” appears in the Torah, a text dating back approximately three millennia. 

One of the earliest maps documenting Israel as the land of the twelve tribes traces its origins to 1200 BC, illustrating the historical continuity of Jewish habitation and border changes (source: the Torah as well as archaeological evidence).

The first Jewish temple, constructed in the region in approximately 1450 BC as documented in the Torah as well as by the archaeological evidence, stands as proof that Jews lived there for 420 years – until the Babylonian exile, during which Jews were forcibly removed from their land for a period of 60 years. Upon their return, the community built the Second Temple and retained a strong presence for another 590 years. Across centuries, a significant compilation of historical records, artifacts, and art bearing distinctive Jewish religious symbols further attests to uninterrupted Jewish settlement.

According to the study, Jews have maintained a presence in the territory of modern Israel from 70 [AD] to the present day, with the sole exception of the period of Jordanian occupation from 1948 to 1967.

On the Term “Palestine” and Historical Nomenclature

The second part of the study addresses the terminology “Palestine,” tracing its origins and the factors that led to the region’s rebranding by various ruling empires. The name “Palestine” was derived from the Roman term “Philistia” (itself originating from the Hebrew “Plishtim” – meaning invaders), a term that the Romans used for the region after the Jewish revolt and the ensuing dispersion. Archaeological and historical findings indicate no distinct Philistine or “Palestinian” identity, culture or continuous presence following the Babylonian exile and the Jewish return.

After the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 63 [AD], the area was designated as Judea Province, with coins minted to commemorate Roman victory over the Jews – emblazoned with “Judea Capta” – further underscoring the Jewish presence at that time. Following Jewish uprisings against Roman rule, the name was changed to Syria Palaestina in 136 [AD], and Jerusalem was renamed Aelia Capitolina as part of Roman efforts to erase Jewish identity and culture.

With the rise of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, which governed the region from 1453 to 1922, the historical record shows no reference to the territory as “Palestine” in official designations. According to the study’s historical and archaeological evidence, “Palestina” was a geographic term used briefly in antiquity, unconnected to any specific ethnic, linguistic or religious group with lasting roots in the land.

The study concludes there is overwhelming evidence for a continuous Jewish presence in the territory of modern Israel, and no evidence of a people known as “Palestinians” as defined by enduring territorial, linguistic, or cultural attributes.

End of Ottoman Occupation

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, it was adjudged both logical and lawful for the area previously called “Palestine” to be acknowledged as the national home for the Jewish people. This status was affirmed by the Balfour Declaration of 2 November 1917, and was ratified in the League of Nations Mandate, which explicitly recognised the Jewish people’s historical connection to the region and their right to reestablish their national home.

At the San Remo Conference (18-25 April 1920), leading Allied powers solidified these rights, resulting in several key legal outcomes:

  • For the first time, Palestine became a legal entity.
  • Previous regional agreements were nullified.
  • Palestine was placed under the British Mandate, with the Balfour Declaration incorporated as international law.
  • The Jewish people were recognised as the national beneficiary, with de jure sovereignty conferred.
  • Legal title to Palestine was transferred to the Jewish people – a title that cannot be revoked by international authorities.
  • Provisions for Arab residents in neighbouring Syria and Mesopotamia were likewise established.
  • San Remo marked the legal end of centuries-long foreign colonisation in the region.

The Right of Sovereignty Over the Land of Israel

According to the CSPII study, the State of Israel currently holds sovereignty over the entire territory traditionally recognised as Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the Jordan Valley, and the Gaza Strip. This conclusion is based on an analysis of legal documents and principles of international law tied to key historical events.

The transfer of sovereignty over the land of Israel occurred multiple times throughout history, notably during the following periods:

• From Ottoman Empire rule (1515–1917) to British administration (1917–1920), under the principle of iura occupationis (right of occupation). During this period, the territory was managed as the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA). This transfer was formalised by acceptance of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations and confirmed through French-British treaties such as the Treaties of Sèvres and Lausanne, by which the Ottoman Empire ceded sovereignty in favour of the Allied Great Powers.

• The San Remo Conference (25 April 1920), where sovereignty held by the Allied Great Powers was legally transferred to the Jewish people through the Mandate for Palestine. (The period between 16 September 1922 and 14 May 1948 corresponds to the Mandate’s formal authorisation.)

• Between 1922 and 1948, Great Britain acted as the Mandatory Power, administering Palestine on behalf of the Jewish people under the League of Nations Mandate system. The provisions of Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant were further reinforced by Article 80 of the United Nations Charter (1945), embodying the principle of uti possidetis juris (legal right of possession).

• On 14 May 1948, sovereignty was formally transferred from the Jewish people to the newly established State of Israel, which continues to exercise sovereignty today, also under the principle of uti possidetis juris.

The study also sheds light on what is often presented as evidence of the rights of the “Palestinian people” – namely, a map proposed in the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 on 29 November 1947. This map was offered as a potential solution to resolve conflicts and violent clashes between Jews and Islamic Arabs, the latter guided by Islamic political principles.

“Unable to manage escalating violence between Islamic Arabs and Jews, the British Mandate authorities relinquished control to the UN, which established the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to facilitate a solution. However, the proposed partition map was rejected by the Arab League. Therefore, this map has no legal status and cannot be used as proof of legitimate claims by any group, as it was only a proposal that was never granted binding or legal recognition.” – Clarifies Marco Moshe Bumaguin, CSPII Specialist on Israel’s History, Senior Lecturer.

“As this study demonstrates, there is strong and undeniable evidence supporting the Jewish people’s right to the territory of Israel within borders defined over a century ago, as well as their presence on the territory over thousands of years. This comprehensive study is meant to educate the world on this complex and sensitive topic, clarifying the archaeological, historical and legal facts. We have observed that even many Jews are unclear about how this territory was formed, how Israel appeared on the map, and what the term ‘Palestine’ truly means.

“CSPII, which focuses on the study of Political Islam, highlights through this work a clear playbook illustrating how Political Islam systematically takes control of territories worldwide. This process of occupation and separation has been repeated multiple times across different regions, often without any legal foundation, driven by efforts to subjugate non-Islamic society and seize their lands. These actions are guided by the fundamental principles and directives found in the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s life story), and the Hadith (Mohammed’s traditions),” explains Milan Podlipný, Co-Founder and CEO of CSPII.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.

I’ve only recently been reading about claimed lone leader of the Illuminati in the 1800s, Albert Pike, and his supposed plan for 3 world wars.

“…in a letter dated August 15, 1871, Pike gave Mazzini plans for world conquest by three world wars to usher in the ‘New World Order’. The goals for each of those world wars were as follows: 1) WWI – to enable Communism to destroy Czarism in Russia, 2) WWII – Fascists versus Political Zionists (Germany vs. Britain) and then post-war Communism will be in a position to take over governments and weakened religions worldwide and the establishment of the State of Israel, and 3) WWIII – Political Zionists versus the leaders of the Muslim World (Judaism vs. Islam); to destroy each other, bring the entire world into the battle, create chaos, and finally to prepare the way for the New World Order…” – ‘The Need for Teaching the Eschatological Gospel of Both Comings of Jesus Christ in the 21st Century’, David Hebert, 2009.

Interesting if it foreshadows WWIII.

I very much question why this history has not been widely known bearing in mind the conflicts and the history of the Khazarian faction which has been well documented. I believe we can no longer believe anything coming out over this terrible conflict. Don’t forget that Jew is not a race but a religion. The word Jew was not in existence until relatively recently.

It’s impossible for a Jew to be an Israelite!

Only from the line of Israel and his twelve sons is it possible.
In their own words jews acknowledge that one of their lines comes from Esau whom lost his title for the sin of adultery.
The meaning is to mix the blood line. And so the definition of the Jew is: one born from adultery.
Their claim to be an Israelite comes from living under the house of Judah. (Hence jew) The name comes from one of the twelve sons of Israel. But all this is buried by Jews for it exposes their fraudulent history and the claim of the nation of Israel.
They are professional interlopers and scam merchants, they ingratiate themselves then take over a nation via fictitious debts. Created by the fraudulent practice of usury on their fiat currencies.

They are descendants of the tribe of Judah and not from Essau. This was after the split at the time of Solomon’s sons. 10 tribes went north and 2 stayed in the south, one of which was Judah, hence Judea hence Jews. Quite legit.

Unfortunately the Jews have already by their own hand disclosed in one of their almanacs that Esau is one of their forefathers.
That means that their time line precludes any changes of status. Thus it’s impossible for a Jew to hold any meaningful legitimate blood line to Israel.

A Bible that isn’t corrupt. At least before the 19th century when Jewish control started perverting text by their control of publications of new bibles.

Can’t believe the KJV for its a translation of a translation mainly from the Roman Bible that is pagan dressed to be Christian. Plus the Author and publisher are in breach of common law found in a genuine bible, but that only comes to light when one knows their beliefs and conduct. Look for original texts mainly Greek and Hebrew.
The Jewish almanac published by their own hand another source not that I believe it but they are so arrogant it becomes funny in that they shoot them selves in the foot! Plus they can’t undo what they have already done!

I have stated several times now, my source. The problem is your response to even the idea of evidence of Jewish meddling in publications that perverts original scripture, it seems.
This is the sickness in contemporary Christian religion. The excuse is to use modern words in new bible study so people can understand, total bullshit!

The sickness is the religion itself, all you need to excise is a comparison and the skill of discernment between what is practiced / preached and original scripture. Many are in breach of common law, but respect of the law would scare majority away and so the so called mega churches would fail… another Jewish corruption!

For example Christian – judaism is a relatively new combination and isn’t Christian but it fools many into a this fake Christian religion. Oh because they believe that Jesus is a Jew… fools and idiots! The power of control is with Jewish corruption and their plan will destroy many fools that follow.

This is why Jesus stated that he was the last of the priesthood and only via him can we hold any chance of redemption.
The jews and their corrupt religion murdered Jesus, for he exposed their hypocrisy and corruption of the religious practice of the time. Jesus is of the blood line of Israel. Thus, isn’t Jewish! For after Esau no Jew is of the line Israel.

Nicodemus the Jewish Pharisee understood the intellectual but apparently failed to grasp direct instruction from Jesus because of the his long and deep belief and brain washing of his culture he determined his own fate of death… Earth to earth dust to dust. This is the fate of those whom fail to comprehend and give of themselves to Jesus.

You know nothing about me and your judgement of me is subjective. You’re obviously fishing around looking for an edge to argue with. Clearly this is of some denomination that takes your faith and energy.

I simply asked, why you don’t show faith in Jesus directly?
But it seems, would rather almost demand validation from me via whatever on – line site that is your preferred go-to.
Would you stone me to death based on the words of others?

Their legal claim is spurious at best to the be laughable.

The Jews have stated publicly their intentions and hatred of Jesus the son of our creator because he exposed them. This very same Jewish mindset dominates the tribal Jew in our contemporary world. There is no mystery, they intend the destruction of anyone who gives their life to Jesus. Or opposes them.

Whether they are nice or evil they always give preference to their own tribe / religion.
Their claim of the chosen race that gives them special privileges above international standards and laws. Seriously, do you support their claim?

The legal claim to land and mineral rights is based upon their so called chosen race status and the promised land. Their display of arrogance is stunning but they are destined for destruction. So we all must make a choice.

I agree with Moses – of the name YHWH (Yahweh) that is the best I can offer you.

The nonsense the Jews created was human bullshit, in order to support their control. “The name is too holy to speak”… total rubbish!
That creates a fear and subservient people. Our father loves us and doesn’t want that!

Also, our father loves us and doesn’t want sycophants grovelling for favour in fear. Yes we must revere with love and exuberance. That is the world that Jesus describes.

I am not anti-Jewish per se, just stating facts that relate to the subject matter of this claim of this discussion.

The very manifestation of the jew is evidence of breach of mosaic law. the simple act of adultery precludes all jews from any legitimate claim for they cannot be of the line of Israel.
Mosaic law is part of the undiluted Bible, there is no excuse!
Please consider the fate of those that change any word of our Father who art in heaven!
Therefore its impossible for the jews to be of the chosen race.

It matters not to me which you choose, if you choose Yes then you must acknowledge that no jew can ever be considered a legitimate Israelite.
And their claim becomes Null & Void.

If you choose No, then your Bible is diluted and corrupt.

The word Jew comes from the tribe of Judea one of the 12 tribes of Israel. 10 Tribes lived in the northern part known as Israel and 2 in the southern part known as Judea (hence the name Jews.) The split happened at the time of Solomon’s sons. So even tho Jews are also Israelites as well as Jews the northern tribes were known as Israelites only and not Jews. These people were overtaken by Assyria (reasonably sure it was Assyria) and disappeared from history. It does appear though that those tribes eventually spread out into Europe.

CSPII’s leadership, Founder and President Bill Warner is the pen name of Bill French (born 1941), a former physics professor and anti-Islam writer.
CSPII’s, U.S.-based Islamophobia network’s inner core work, has been criticized by academic experts, with some stating that Warner’s approach lacks credibility within the academic fields of Orientalism, Arabism, and Islamology.
This article is willfully distortion of history.
Lord Milner’ Round Table movement, founded in 1909, wanted, a state in the middle east for which they sought a patriotic group of people ‘the Jews’ to safeguard their empire; as to defend their sea empire against the land empire; Eurasia. The creation of Israel had more to do with politic power hegemony than with a continue of historic rights.

that is what I read, too. 60 years ago as a kid in Europe, we did not learn anything about Isreal, everyone called it Palestina. I also read fairly recently, that most of the Jewish people living there now, are from Russia and Ukraine, not traditional inhabitants of the region. Some books mention also that Abraham and his people were nomads, did not live anywhere permanently, and seemed to have spent more time inland, not by the seaside. And as another comment states, Jewish is not a nationality but a religion. Imagine if all Christians, or Muslims, or Hindus, were to require a country of their own.

Zionism was not Jewish movement; it was form of European ethnic nationalism transplanted to Palestine. The idea of gathering Jews in the Holy Land was originally a Protestant Christian concept.
the deep-seated Jewish opposition to Zionism, tracing its violent underpinnings back to Russian revolutionary traditions. Dr. Yakov Rabkin uncovers the surprising alliances between Zionists and anti-Semites, discuss how it uprooted ancient Jewish communities, and examine why this colonial project continues to receive unwavering Western support today.
See Neutrality Studies; Dr. Yakov Rabkin, a professor emeritus of history at the University of Montreal. His publications include over 300 articles and several monographs and edited volumes. His newest work is a short but highly fascinating account about “Israel in Palestine: Jewish Rejection of Zionism”.

As usual, when “describing” Israel from an islamist perspective, it’s always wrong.
