For the persons on here that have been claiming that Palestine and Palestinians were unknown until to 20th Century,well you are wrong completely wrong,as the educated on here knew all along.
The account of the French biographer of St Louis, JOINVILLE states in 1249 "that the kings's (St Louis) dealings with the Assassins after his arrival in Palestine is of a different order etc,."
The Assassins,now they are another story and well worth reading about,eventually wiped out by the Great Ghengis Khan,the few of these people who managed to escape are today a mere blip in history and their titular head today is the AGA KHAN.
They were the Original Murder for hire,Islamists who were brilliant at disguise and deception....and assassination(this is where we get the word from).
These modus-operandi was that each Assassin,was promised Paradise,in a beautiful garden,the pleasures of many virgins etc,. Much like the Terrorist of today.
Their main targets were other Muslim Cheifs and Leaders,occassionally Christians Knights Tempalars and Hospitalars from Europe plus other nobles,their mistake was in trying to Assassinate Ghengis Khan,which they almost did,(40 were sent) but foiled....The Great Khan (Gengis) decreed to wipe them from the face of the earth...which they did to an effective degree.
But back to my original point the area around Jeruslem and its surround was by the 12 Century KNOWN AS PALESTINE. theliq
