Isn’t it interesting that Palestinian sounds like Philistine?
I believe it is supposed to.
The Roman Emperor Hadrian named the province ‘Syria Palestina’ in the first New World Order attempt to stomp out those pesky Jews.
Because I think they are rooted commonly
Palesthia
Or something like that in old Assyrian and Egyptian writings dating to 1200 BC
Right around the end of Moses life in 1200 BC
I don’t care about who came first
By that measure we should leave leave the Western Hemisphere unless you’re Amerindian
Modern Palestinians are pretty much Hashemite Jordanians or maybe some are Lebanese ethnics
How many Palestinians are Canaanite descended is as spurious as how Israelite or Judaic are modern Jews which in my opinion sure as hell varies from quite a bit to not much
The Jews deserve a homeland and they wanted that place for sentimental reasons and they got it
It wasn’t necessarily a pretty investment but they held it and they act better than their crazy neighbors so I prefer them myself
But you could have put them in Dade county or Long Island or Scottsdale or Kracow and they woulda done fine
I would note that many of the Palestinian refugee class were Christian and that in fact the earliest Palestinian terrorists were in fact Christian like Habash and Haddad
FREEPERS like things simple and sentimental
But this nuance is why much of the world is more ambivalent about Israel than are we
Our media has always been pro Israel and our Christian churches too but it’s not like it is here anywhere else
I lived overseas and it’s not anti Semitism
That’s a cop out reply
Another reason is everywhere else you get another view from the media
Oddly though here I’m noticing academia and the left even the huge Jewish left is more hostile to Israel than I’ve ever seen
Is it because they hate Netanyahu
Israel is lucky we’re so Christian a nation and are the second home to Jews (almost first actually)
Without those two things their difficult road would be so much worse than it already is
