The Maccabees were Jews of Judea who led a revolt to recapture Jerusalem from the colonizing Seleucids (Greeks) in the 2nd century BCE.
The term βPalestineβ didnβt exist for another 3-4 hundred years, after the Roman colonizers exiled the Jews and renamed Judaea to Syria Palestina.
Ah yes nothing like wishing people a happy Hanukah (a holiday celebrating a jewish defeat of the greeks) with a comment about a group of Arab who named themselves after the Philistinesβ¦ who are from Greeceβ¦
