Five minutes is not long enough. An additional two minutes would be better.

i dont know about this, i actually get confused when talking or reading about this, but i think judea used to be what is now known as palestine, but, since theyre different places with the same religion, israel could be the same thing but israel was also called canaan back then, you dont have to change this but you can if you feel like this message was helpful. sorry for wasting your time with this message

correction: the place of judea was israel but the name was later formed to palestine by the romans after the jews were kicked out of judea, the jewish land was also called canaan though, where the romans after they kicked out the jews renamed it to palestine to dishonor them and palestine later stayed in while the jews were then in europe for a while the islams stayed in the palestine land where the romans collapsed and after world war two the jews reclaimed the land in 1948 with the UN partition plan where the land was split into a jewish state to where the jews reclaimed their old land and palestine, the muslims kept the other half. unfortunately, both sides have claimed the land was always ours and also i hope you understand what actually happened when reading this message and also respect to both israel and palestine i am hoping for peace deals between the two states, love from america. please dont start a big debate about whther israel or palestine is better
