Plausible... but the words Philistine and Palestine are too close to  
completely ignore the connection. Maybe the Greek sense of punning, per the  
author, allowed the Greeks to refer to both Philistine territory and Judean  
territory by the one name rather than as a specific reference to Israel. This 
 
makes more sense to me than equating Palestine with Israel.
