Your thread is terrible bait, but I will stay long enough to remind you that Palestine has NEVER in its entire existence been an independent state and has always been a province of the British, the Ottomans, the Romans, or the Israelites
>>1294748
>Israelites
Hm? And who are they?
>>1294748

>>1294772
today's Jews and Samaritans plus most of the "arab" palestinians not from the Gaza strip

Where did they originate?

Friendly reminder that Palestine is NOT a real country or nation. Palestine was what the home of the Philistines (A nomadic non-Arab people near the Aegean) was referred to by Greek historians. They only ever lived on a small strip of what is today the West Bank. This area was renamed Palestina by the angry Romans after the Jewish revolts they quelled. This was to minimize Jewish claim to the land as the land was previously known as Judea or land of the Jews
Friendly reminder that the Ottomans and local Arabs referred to it more as "Southern Syria" than Palestine ore-Israel. Syria did not recognize Palestine until 2011 for this reason. They did not see Israel, Palestine, or even Jordan as independent nations, but rather part of Greater Syria
Friendly reminder that since the 1880's, Jews have been moving into the land, having bought large portions of it (legally) from the landlords under the Ottomans
Friendly reminder that Palestinian Arabs are a made up ethnicity used as a political tool by the Arabs to put a thorn in Israel's side. They are in reality Jordanians. Trans-Jordan was what Jordan was called by the British because it was on the other side of the Jordan River. Cis-Jordan, is Palestine
Friendly reminder that the Arab leaders could have declared Palestinian Independence from 1948-1967 but did not. This is because the above is correct and that Palestinians are a threat to Jordanian security. In 1970, the Jordanians fought and forced the PLO into Lebanon. Arabs nations support and deny Palestinian statehood as suits their own agenda seeing as how on the international stage, many sympathize with Palestinians
Friendly reminder that Palestine the Arab fake """nation""" has no history, language, culture or custom distinct from the Arabs of the area

The ethnonyms Cherethite and Pelethite, and associations of the Philistines with Caphtor in the Old Testament point to a Cretan origin for them in literary tradition (Finkelstein 2002;Machinist 2000).

The funny thing about the Philistines is that they were far more sophisticated than the Hebrews and their invasion of Hebrew lands was probably a reaction versus perceived barbarian invaders (i.e. Heebs).
