Pal·es·tin·i·an
ˌpaləˈstinēən/
adjective
adjective: Palestinian
noun
- 1.
relating to Palestine or its peoples.
noun: Palestinian; plural noun: Palestinians
- 1.
a member of the native Arab population of the region of Palestine (including the modern state of Israel).
Is English the native language from which the word Palestinian comes from?
While Arabs still call it the Jewish Desert, I challenge You to name one local native language in which 'Palestinian' does not mean an invader.
Arabs know what Arabia means, but have no clue what is the meaning of the word 'Palestine'.
This is who Israelis are - they know the actual meanings of the names in their homeland.
Isn't it funny, in the OT most of Jacobs sons married Canaanite females, and even in Ezra the Preists had lots of kids by Canaanite women, are you a Canaanite?
King David is a descendant of Boaz from the Judah tribe, and righteous Ruth who came from the Moabites.
We are Israelites.
The Canaanites are broadly defined to include the Israelites (including Judeans and Samaritans), Phoenicians (including Carthaginians), Amorites, Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, Suteans, Ekronites, and Amalekites. The Canaanite languages had ceased to be everyday spoken languages by the 1st millennium AD, but Hebrew remained in continuous use by many Jews since that period into medieval times as a liturgical language, as a literary language, and for commerce, until it was revived as an everyday spoken language in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and became the main language of the Jews of Palestine and later the State of Israel. Hebrew is the only living Canaanite language today.
