With the rise of Zionism – a European settler-colonial movement founded at the end of the nineteenth century – a new term was invented to describe Palestine: the "Land of Israel". Before then, the word "Israel" had generally been used only as a synonym for the Jewish people, as in the Biblical phrase "Children of Israel".

He writes:
The first time the term "Eretz Yisrael" - "Land of Israel" - was used to refer to the land was in 1 Samuel 13:19.
"וְחָרָשׁ֙ לֹ֣א יִמָּצֵ֔א בְּכֹ֖ל אֶ֣רֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל"
The term is used constantly in the Talmud and later Rabbinical writings.
Asa Winstanley is an idiot. (More likely, he is a liar.)
