Masada was rather well documented by Josephus
The Scicarii
Sure thought they had claim and killed anyone not in agreement from Roman to Herodan and many Jews they felt were appeasers
Kind of like America today ....the get along go along folks

Goliath was a Philistine.

“The term Palestine is rarely used in the Old Testament, and when it is, it refers specifically to the southwestern coastal area of Israel occupied by the Philistines. It is a translation of the Hebrew word Pelesheth.
The term is never used to refer to the whole land occupied by Israel. Before Israel occupied the land, it would be generally accurate to say that the southwestern coastal area was called Philistia (the Way of the Philistines, or Palestine), while the central highlands were called Canaan. Both the Canaanites and the Philistines had disappeared as distinct peoples at least by the time of the Babylonian Captivity of Judea (586 B.C.), and they no longer exist.
In the New Testament, the term Palestine is never used.”
And interesting that the modern “Palesinians” pick up the name from Goliath. Even back then they didn’t keep their word. The deal was that if Goliath lost, his army would become slaves to David, and vice-versa. But - when Goliath was killed, the Philistines ran away.
“Palestine was never Jewish”, try telling that to God.
Just another fairly typical Moslem *sshole.
The Israeli delegate smiled and said: "Good now that we have settled who was there first...."
Ha....tell it to “Rehoboam” fool!
Watch these Navy SEAL Team VI families and other family members as they reveal the Obama Administrations culpability in death of their sons in the fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on bin Ladens compound. This is a powerful and riveting briefing that included some of Americas most significant military leaders.
Video of their funeral has an Imam condemning the fallen SEAL warriors.

Oh yeah!
Gaza: Where men are men and sheep are nervous.
Genesis 15:18
God made this with Abraham and his descendants
Which most of the world will argue includes folks besides just Jews who claim to come from Issac
He had another son Ishmael that comes to mind
Ishmael was Isaac’s half-brother and not an heir of Abraham. None of Abraham’s children from Keturah were heirs of Isaac’s stature either. It’s true that the lost ten tribes also have a claim to the land, but they still don’t know who they are.
He had a big headache and couldn’t be reached for comment.
The historic Philistines themselves were Hamites.
The evidence suggests they were from the Aegean region, the same as Greeks and Thracians. Do you consider them “Hamites”?
What evidence do you speak of? Israel Finkelstein’s claims? Perhaps so. Their heritage is distinct from Javan (a Japhethite), who according to Josephus was the ancestor of the Greeks.
The Bible says that the Philistines came from the Casluhim, who in turn came from the Mizraim (Egyptians), descended from Ham. That’s where I get “Hamite” from, especially distinct from Semite (descended from Shem).
