Where were the "Palestinians" when Romans came?

Question

Well, ok, Assyrians, Babylonians, even Persians, it was so long ago! But what about the scrupulous and methodical Romans? The same story. Romans tell in details how they were besieging Jerusalem, they scrupulously inform us about how Jews were desperately defending it, Romans narrate us about the Jewish revolts and how they quelled them, they provide us with a lot of the information about how Jews were fighting against Romans in Masada, about how they divided Judah and renamed it in Palestine, about how they renamed Jerusalem in Aelia Capitolina…They tell us about a lot of things – but they do not say a single word about “Palestinians”. In which hole were this "so ancient and heroic people" was hiding that nobody could find them?

Answer 1

They were in Palestine, that is why the Romans called it Palestine, and not Israel!!

Answer 2

There was no such thing as Palestinians before the Romans came, they renamed Judah Palestine to erase all Jewish history because of their revolts against the Roman occupation. Then eventually the Romans caused a dispora and the Jews set off in all directions, the other people at the time in the land renamed as "Palestine", were either christian or worshiping their own beliefs and gods. Obviously until the rise of Islam and muslims took over Palestine and forced the majority of the people to convert to Islam where the majority were muslim for centuries until the Jews returned after ww2.
