"Palestinians" are Arabs, they are not descendants of the ancient Aegean people the Philistines.

Why would you think they are, because both names start with a P?

That being said, the "Palestinians" deny the existence of ancient Israel. They take the stories of the Bible for themselves. Following that train of claim, Samson would be a "Palestinian". So by their own logic, Samson, the first suicide bomber was a "Palestinian".

Because both names start with a "P"?! Oh, please!
