They’re actually Philistines, but they can’t be called that, for it may suggest who actually owns the land.

No, they are not. Palestine is a corruption of the word Philistine, but the "Palestinians" are Arabs who came to the region long after the Philistines were gone. They are not decendants of the ancient Philistines.

They are not Philistines. Philistines were tall, fairskinned, seafaring people. Get a clue.

No, they’re not Philistines; they’re Arabs (that the other Arab countries don’t want). I believe it was the Romans who named the area Philistia as an “eff you” to the Jews way back when.

That's funny. There are quite a few FReepers who are philistines, too (albeit with a small "p").

Actual ownership of the land would be the Lord of Hosts the
Creator of Heaven and earth. IMO He transferred land rights to the seed of Abraham.And the Philistines lost ownership rights by the law of conquest first to ancient Israel—later to Rome.And ownership has been in dispute ever since-so far as mortals are concerned. But again IMO the right of Ownership still resides in the hands of the Creator.I believe the Book—
and final legal rights will belong to Israel.
