the Jews were called Palestinians before the Arabs

Boy talk about disinformation. The Jews came into existence through Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob 4000 years ago.

The "Palestinians" AKA the Philistines were the age-old enemies of Israel from the time they inherited their Promised Land 3500 years ago.

[Tell It Right]

It's true that the word Palestine was used for Israel before there was such a people that we today call "Palestinians" (old Ottoman Empire refugees who weren't accepted by Jordan and other nations when Israel and other nations were re-created/created from the old OE).

But the word Palestine IIRC was the Romans' word for the area. Asking the Jews to use a term given to them by the Gentiles 2,000 years ago seems a bit strange, especially in light of how it's used today to refer to the local enemies of Israel who insist on pushing the Jews into the sea.

The “Palestinians” are ethnic Jordanians. Yassar Arrafat, the founder of the PLO was an Egyptian who was barred from returning to Egypt due to his crimes of terrorism.

The name Palestinian was devised by caesar to insult the Hebrews. He was naming them after an extincet tribe that had been destroyed by king David The philistenes were destroyed.

Arabic speakers can’t even pronounce Palestine.

‘Falastin’

They order Bitzza.
