Discounting the fact these Arabs both Muslim and Christian lived in a region called Palestine a very long time along with Jews is kind of a canard
It was never a nation
It was governed by Turks and later Brits
But to act like since they never had a country of their own called Palestine that they somehow are irrelevant is bullshit
They did exist on that land
And many were displaced
And here we are
I guess we could kill 4-5 million of them and problem solved
It’s just going to grow and nobody wants them often for good reason
You lose a war and you lose a lot sometimes
Just ask most tribes east of the Mississippi
And who was there first is another bullshit argument
Everywhere had someone first
Israel was I guess proto Canaanite first
But there was someone even before them
It goes back to wars have consequences
Problem with this one is ex inhabitants nobody wants
Ben Gurion warned if this in 67
Unlike “Palestinians”, the Kurds are distinguished nation (20-45 millions) with their own language (related to Persian), culture and history.
It is thought that they are descendants of ancient Medes, history going back at least to 600 BC.
But, they just have bad luck.
Read up on history
I suggest Eric Cline’s “1177BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed”
The author is correct: there was no ancient Palestine. There were Canaanite areas along the coast that were among territory invaded by “ Sea People” who swept into the Med littoral, invaded, and by violence or assimilation, pretty much decimated existing trade routes, and contributed to the collapse of the bronze age and the Egyptian empire that was the controlling power.
There were 5 occupied city settlements and surrounding lands identified as “ Philistia”. This was in the southern area of modern Israel, including Gaza. Analysis of the DNA of ancient Philistia burials shows 25% Aegean ( Crete or Cyrpus) and 75% Canaanite. It is the Canaanites who should be throwing rocks at occupiers, not Pali arabs.
The Philistines who settled in other areas throughout Israel were defeated by a united Israel under David, who killed their great war hero Goliath and carried his sword into battle to avenge the death of King Saul and the mutilation of his son Jonathan, whose body was hung on the wall of Bet Shean.
If you visit that site today there is about a 10 story tel, or pile of rubble of city built on top of city. This whole “ who got there first owns the land” is a pali fake specious argument.
When their tribes united, theJews became the only power that really resisted the follow on empires. The Romans when adding this territory to their empire referred to it as “ Palestine” to subordinate and diminish the Jewish kingdom.
Of course the Ottomans would do the same when they took over
Jesus was born into a Roman subjugated land ruled by a token Jewish King Herod appointed by Rome because he was a willing vassal, ruthless to his own people, and his Jewish bloodline was “ non priestly/ royal)” so inferior class, and another demeaning act.
I better stop. Obviously a trip over there to visit these sites for yourself puts a whole perspective on the issue of who is an “occupier”. The international community, and the Jews, have been much more accommodating than deserved to the muslim usurpers aka Palestinians who showed up late to the party to plant “ palestinian” flags on ancient lands
