Original Note:
Misrepresentation: The cities of Jerusalem, Jaffa, Acre, Be'er Sheba & others appear in historical records placing their Hebraic forms centuries before the emergence of Arabic & the Arab Conquest. Renaming of indigenous places was common in the MENA region. https://www.britannica.com/place/Jerusalem/History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_names_of_Palestine https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Survey_of_Western_Palestine/5WQnAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madaba_Map https://archive.org/details/mosaicmapofmadab0000donn/page/98/mode/2up?view=theater&q=z https://alifarabic.com/what-is-the-history-of-the-arabic-language/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabization
