Myths of “palestine” and “palestinians”

The word Palestine is Hebrew in origin, not Arabic. It refers to Philistines who originated in Europe, not Arabia. Philistines were related to Greeks, not Arabs. Arabs have nothing to do with Palestine. Palestine is as Arab as Brooklyn.
 
Abdullah al-Hadlaq, writer, Al-Watan, Kuwait: “When the state of Israel was established in 1948 there was no state called palestine. Where did we get that name which we have been defending? It didn’t exist.” Kuwaiti Writer Abdullah Al-Hadlaq: Israel Is a Legitimate State, Not an Occupier; There Was No Palestine; I Support Israel-Gulf-U.S. Alliance to Annihilate Hizbullah

True. There was no state called Israel either.. there wasn't a state called Germany or Italy until quite late in modern history.

The Akkadians were Arabs so were the Amorites, Edomites and Midianites. Moses also had an Arab wife named Zipporah. Your Torah says they are your half brothers.

None was Arab. Arabs didn’t exist. Earliest Arabs tribes date to about 500 CE, about 2,000 years *after* Moses…

There were Arabs in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Read your Torah.
 
A lie being promulgated is that the “ancient” land of “palestine” was created by “palestinians” Well, no...

Ancient “palestine” never existed. The Middle East is a region of ancient civilizations, but “palestine” was not among them. “Palestine” is an English word derived from a Latin word—palaestina—first imposed on Jews’ land, ancient Israel, which referred to Philistines. The Philistines were non-indigenous, non-Semitic Greek invaders to ancient Israel known as the Sea Peoples having originated from the Aegean and Med. Seas. Roman Emperor Hadrian attempted to erase the Jewish heritage and history of the land in retribution for a Jewish rebellion against Roman occupation. Greek Philistines were enemies of the ancient Israelites. Philistines, extinct since the 6th century BCE, were completely unrelated to Arabs who fairly recently adopted the illegitimate “palestinian” identity.

The Roman name palaestina was later anglicized by European Christians into “palestine” which was the name temporarily adopted by Britain for the name of the British Mandate, British palestine.

Interestingly, Jews were originally called “palestinians” by the British in British palestine, until becoming Israelis. Arabs vehemently rejected the names “palestine” and “palestinian” as Western colonialist inventions. Arabs historically called Syria “Sham” which dismissively means “land to the left”

Only much later, in the 1960s, did Arabs, looking around for something to call themselves, begin identifying as “palestinians” though without the letter p in Arabic, Arabs cannot write or even say “palestine” or “palestinian” in their own Arabic language
The Palestinian's of today, are the direct descendants of the Isrealites.
