Comments by "nuqwestr" (@nuqwestr) on "Palestine: The Samaritans' Struggle I ARTE.tv Documentary" video.
Samartians are not "Palestinian", they predate that Roman sobriquet. No Jesus or Allah, either, only Moses. "Pale" is Greek for "Wrestle", as Israel also means "Wrestle", and there is no letter "P" in Arabic.

@A.M.E-K-87-10 There was no "P" in Arabic when the indo-European word Palestine was created and the region defined. The word is ancient Greek, came from there, not the other way around. The word is a cultural appropriation, an act of colonialism. So is this إسرائيل and Israel is the English translation of this ישראל, the "Shin" is part of the Hebrew alphabet. In Hebrew there is the letter called “Samech” written so: ס. This letter always pronounced like “S”. There is another letter, called “Shin” (ש). Merneptah Stele (c. 1209 BCE): This ancient Egyptian inscription, dating to the reign of Pharaoh Merneptah, mentions "Israel". Israel predates the Greek word Palestine by almost 1,000 years.

@A.M.E-K-87-10 An indo-European word which at root means "Wrestle" as does the Hebrew word Israel.
