Happens to be similar? What a ridiculous comment. Of course it is similar, because it's originally a Hebrew word and never was Arabic one.
And the word means "invaders", which is what the modern Palestinians are, ironically.
Shusha this an example of what I mean. A people who’s roots go back as long as Jews, who have never left the area are hardly invaders regardless of culture.
Its literally, factually, what the word means.
Is it? Or is that a subtle way denigrating them? Of the pro-Israeli side subtly pushing a definition in order to promote a particular view of them? Perhaps to counter the opposing meme of Jews as invaders? IS it literal and factual?
Origin of "Palestine"
Though the definite origins of the word Palestine have been debated for years and are still not known for sure, the name is believed to be derived from the Egyptian and Hebrew word peleshet. Roughly translated to mean rolling or migratory, the term was used to describe the inhabitants of the land to the northeast of Egypt - the Philistines
Palestine - Wiktionary
From Latin Palaestīna (“Roman province of Palestine”), from Ancient Greek (Palaistínē, “Philistia and the surrounding region”), from Hebrew פְ(p'léshet, “Philistia, land of the Philistines”),[1][2] from the root (p-l-š, “migrate, invade”).[3] The term P-l-s-t or P-r-s-t, found in five Ancient Egyptian inscriptions (beginning with one at Medinet Habu from circa 1170 BCE and ending with Padiiset's Statue inscription from circa 900-850 BCE) as the name of a people near Egypt, is traditionally taken to be cognate.[4][5] Seven Assyrian inscriptions contain the word "Palas(h)tu" or "Pilistu", which is usually also taken to be cognate.[6][7]
When did we choose invader over migratory? And when? And why?
Why are we insisting on it to describe a people who’s core population who has lived there has lived there for thousands of years? (Which for the uninformed is also centuries).
Thank you. I was wondering how long that pseudodefinition was going to sit unchallenged.
Just saw Jeopardy, where they referenced Israeli currency--shekels. It's the same currency they had 2000 years ago. And Hebrew is the same language they spoke in that land 2000 years ago. They also celebrate the same national holidays that Jesus observed 2000 years ago (like Passover and Hanukkah). Can the so-called Palestinians make the same claim? No, which is why they try to destroy every archeological artifact on the Temple Mount.

No links cited to support your claim. Again. Gosh, it must be nice to be able to initiate topical content by stating an opinion as fact and not have to play by the same rules everyone else has to play by around here.
You need links to Arabs ruining ancient archaeological sites??
Just look at the rest of the mid east where they've erased entire cultures.

No, you need links in order to conform to the same rules with which everone else must conform if they want to keep their thread open. In theory, anyway. It doesn't seem to play out that way, however.
The op's premise with regard to the Palestinians was this- ''Can the so-called Palestinians make the same claim? No, which is why they try to destroy every archeological artifact on the Temple Mount.''
That's actually the op's claim. All op did was toss the opinion in with a bit of trivia.
It's clever how some cats operate on here. Squeeze in an opinionated claim and roll with that as the premise of the topical content based on a bit of trivia without having to actually support the claim itself.
As I said. Must be nice.

Not in the op they're not.
Whatever, though. The other rule is that we're not supposed to mention anything about the screwery on the open forum either. We don't want anyone else realizing how things are going down right in front of their faces either, now, do we? No, we wanna keep that discussed in private where nobody else can see. lol.

You never explained why would Arabs need to use foreign term for land in which they claim to be indigenous, while not even being able to pronounce it..
It is just another subtle way to delegitimize. We see it from the pro-Pali side As well. The weaponizing of words through redefining are powerful weapons. If people hear it often enough, it gets accepted for truth. (Need I mention Trump)?And the word means "invaders", which is what the modern Palestinians are, ironically.
