You are correct, in the second century AD, after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestina to Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.. The Palestinian now were nomands that roam in Jordan and other areas. However, Palestine as as nation now exist. So, how do you propose to solve the problem that in engulfing the area?

This again is a rumor and a myth. The Philistines of that period are not even close to what are called the "Palestinians". I guess you can say that is where the name can come from but that is as far as it goes.
And how I propose to solve the problem is a whole other issue. The first step no matter what the solution is a total stop to all violence and the only way to achieve this is through the security fence. A fence is what has prevented all suicide murderers from coming out of Gaza even though that region has a much more visible presence of terrorist leaders. A fence is not a political border as some are trying to make it out to be and if Israel has to build it through private donations then fine, I don't care. What comes next are trust building measures which include Israel dismantling certain settlements and easing military restrictions in other areas. The areas that military restrictions are eased in are the areas that a "Palestinian" security force actively patrols. There can no longer be excuses of "civil war" if you make those arrests. It must be done. Criminals and murderers need to be arrested and the area needs to have all weapons removed from it. At that point and only at that point will both sides be able to negotiate without physical intimidation.
Until then idiot members of the EU need to stop anti-semitism in their countries, need to stop interfering in the internal politics of Israel by trying to support politicians who have absolutely no support at home, and need to stop funding Arafat (born in Cairo by the way) who is worth several billion dollars now and sends a couple hundred thousand dollars a month to his wife in Europe so she can live well while people are supposedly "starving". I don't know but a couple billion could sure buy a lot of food.
