  1. 1
  2. There has never been a palestinian people. If there were than Jews who also lived there - just as Arabs - are also palestinians. The Philistines were an Aegean people – related to the Greeks and with no connection ethnically, linguistically, or historically at all with Arabia – they conquered the Mediterranean coastal plain that is now Gaza in the 12th Century BCE. Israel defeated the Philistines back then and drove them out of Gaza. The name Philistine was much later given to Israel by Roman Emperor Hadrian, who's occupation was responsible for several decrees that sought to crush the National identity and religious spirit of the Jews some time after Roman Emperor Titus smashed the Israeli resistance in the year 70. The Roman Empire disappeared and others occupier's toke over the Land such as the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire and the name Philistine was done away with and they renamed the whole region Syria - until the British became the world power and it was them to rename the whole region Palestina. So ask yourself: where is the evidence that proves that there was an ancient palestinian State? Where are the old scroll that describes its history - in it mentioned old Kings, old Rulers, old Governments and Government buildings – where are the old cities, old coins, old ruins, old roads, old harbors ??? THEY CAN’T SHOW ANY OF THESE MENTIONED ARTIFACTS ! Israel on the other hand CAN show MILLIONS of mentioned history and artifacts that PROVE they belong there. It is islam that doesn't tolerate any other religion which is the root of all conflict. We are waiting for the return of Lord Yeshua / Jesus to bring about peace.
