The way I heard it was that the syrians did not want these people in their own country so they moved them all to a portion of the country near Israel.
Yassir (that’s my baby) Arafat head came up with the idea that Palestine was a country when it was just a segregated group of syrians that Syria didn’t even want.
He’s also the POS reason that you have to take off your clothes and take off your shoes at the airport
These were the syrians that Syria didn’t want. And if you look at them you can see why.
Our national government sends hundreds of millions $ annually to these barbarians.
It comes from the Roman’s... They called that area of their empire Palestine.
This is hilarious. And Palwatch.org documents how our tax money eventually goes to pay-for-slay in plas-tinian death cukt.
The Philistines were Greek invaders who settled in the area around 1200 BC.
The modern Arabs have nothing in common with the previous Palestine.

I thought old Palestine (from the word Philistine), under British Control after driving out the Turks in WW I, was to be divided between Israel and Jordan.
Even the Jordanians wanted nothing to do with them so basically told them “You are on your own!”
Some wanted to send the Jews of Europe to Uganda. Hitler wanted to send them to Madagascar. When Rommel failed to capture the Suez Canal, they started up the gas chambers.
There’s no ‘p’ in Arabic. The Arabic name is pronounced ‘Falastin’. The name goes back to ancient Egypt, who claim to have driven out the Peleshet from Egypt proper. The Peleshet were neither Arabic or even Semitic.
The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article on Palestine says the only people in Palestine the call themselves Palestinians are the itinerant herders. The rest identify themselves with neighboring states or Egypt.
From פלשתים (”Plishtim”), which is transliterated to “Phillistines”. It comes from the word פלש (”polash”), which means “to invade”.

British occupied Palestine. WWI and WW2.
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).
