I had to post that because the keyboard won’t act normal if I type something in Hebrew.

So “Plishtim,” ironically, comes from the root “polash”. Can’t do it in Hebrew because my keyboard freaks out. But “polash” means “to invade”. So when they call themselves “Palestinians,” they are calling themselves invaders, by way of a Latin-ization of a Hebrew word.
