"Palestinians" have been asked what the origin of the word Palestine is, anyway it is their people - (they claim), their history. Nobody knew!

Most “Palestinians” are Jordanian in origin.

The Peleset were one of several groups referred to as the Sea Peoples who attacked Egypt several times in the years around 1200 B.C. It is generally agreed that they are the same as the Philistines of the Bible (as in Delilah and Goliath).

The Peleset seem to have come from the Aegean area. In the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, verse 14 speaks of "Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites." Caphtor seems to mean Crete.

2 Samuel 8.18 mentions Kerethites and Pelethites (evidently foreign mercenaries of King David).

Herodotus mentions Syrie Palaistine which included at least part of what the Romans later called Palaestina. The name indicates that the Philistines had not been forgotten (they had long since lost their original language) so the name may predate Herodotus' time (5th century B.C.).

That’s pretty much the same version of events they teach in anthropology.
The Sea Peoples came from the Aegean and were called Philistines.
They tried to take on the Egyptians and failed. They did succeed in the Levant.

I think it is still unclear if they settled in Philistia before or after they took part in the raids on Egypt. In the Bible they are depicted as immigrants who had not always been in the land of Canaan.

The original post-Noah’s Flood occupants of at least part of Canaan were called Avvim. The were displaced by Pelishtim. Deuteronomy 2:23.

The New International Version translates Deut. 2.23 as follows:

"And as for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites coming from Caphtor destroyed them and settled in their place." (There is a note saying "That is, Crete")

The Septuagint is rather different. It has "Euaioi" for Avvites and speaks of "Kappadokes" coming from "Kappadokia."

Cappadocia is a region in central Asia Minor, pretty far from Crete.

Years ago, I was acquainted with a couple who were deeply liberal democrats. They exhibited a strange combination of intelligence and ignorant bias which I enjoyed observing as a paradox. Somehow one day a discussion began on the topic of ‘palestinians’ and I stated rather authoritatively, “There’s no such thing as Palestine. Jews were the original Palestinians, if there ever was such a thing.”

She clammed up and the discussion shifted elsewhere. It never came up in my presence again. Go figure.

It was rather amusing, as are some comments in this thread.

I can only imagine the responses in the linked video (since it’s not in English, well...).

Bottom line: Any discussion of the myth of ‘palestine’ which does not include Hadrian is either ignorant or biased against the Jews. The true history of the origin of ‘palestine’ is definitively anti-Jew (and anti-Israel today), so it is of obvious consequence to see the myth of ‘palestine’ used against Israel. History has been rewritten such. That democrats embrace the palestinian myth should surprise no one.

But if the blame for the modern conflict should be laid at any particular feet, it lies solely with the League of Nations - principally the British - and the politics of the fallout of WWI, later amplified by the idiot Brit, Lord Peel.

Ironically - if not tragically foreboding - those events later saw the meeting of the Mufti & Hitler; the rest is history, without regard as to the nature of their discussion.

As well, it should come as no surprise to any here that the UK is so accommodating of muslims (likewise for democrats).

Years ago, someone correspndrnded with infamous radical anti-Israel propagandist Sarah Wilkinson about the Arab “Palestinians”, then Sara suddenly came up with a weird argument that the so called Palestinians are not Arabs...imagine that. These Palywoodists will say anything. Especially things they themselves do not believe in.

You know, I think you are right- It was Jordan and not Syria

IIRC, the number is over 60% can trace their families back to Jordan within 2 generations. They had a good thing going in Jordan in the 70’s, but their leadership tried to overthrow the Hashemite king. Consequently the king killed a whole bunch of them and kicked the rest to the west bank. The Palis never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Actually there is such a thing as Palestine. It’s a city in Texas.
