I remember reading somewhere that they are really called Philistines which comes from the Jewish word “Phili” (if I remember right) which means “invaders”. So I was asking myself why would the Jews call them invaders unless the Jews were there first? Actually I prefer their proper name of “Islamo-Nazi-fascist psychopathic blood thirsty killers” but thats another story.
I’ve read that the Philistines were a sea people that I believe had Phoenician origins.
The so called “Palistinians” are arab invaders who moved in after the diaspora.
