The Greeks may have invented the word "Philistine," (I really think Herodotus used the word "Palestine.") but that was how they identified a distinct group of non-Greeks.

As for the "People of the Sea," there is at least some doubt as to who they were. Velikovsky thinks they were Persians. (Also see: here.)
