Palestine Unveiled

Amidst the left and right squabbling is an issue of such importance that it will literally shake the entire planet. This is where the ignition for a global war will spark. Before that time, it is important for us to learn of this region of the world. I know many have very strong feelings about the Middle East, but very few have any grasp on the culture or history of any of its people.

PALESTINE

Where do we get that name? It begins with Emperor Hadrian of Rome. During then 2d century AD, the Jew's last attempt at gaining independence ended with the revolt at Masada. An event which marked the full culmination of the diaspora. As punishment for this rebel people, Emperor Hadrian sought to erase all remembrance of Jewish people. Until that point, the land was called the Province of Judah. There was never any mention of a land called Palestine before this time. Hadrian resorted to ancient history to find a name that may seem appropriate, and in so doing found the "Philistines". An extinct people who were a well known enemy of Israel and Judah. The name Palestine comes from the ancient Hebrew "P'leshet" (????), which was adapted to Latin thus becoming "Palaestina". This of course fulfilling the prophecy in:

Psalms 83:3-4, "They say: Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Ysrael be remembered no more".

Before the stated time there was never any mention of the name Palaestina in any ancient document from Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian, Ptolemaic, Seleucian nor Latin itself! Why is this? Why did O neighbouring region recognise the existence of Palestine? Why does every document from every source cite the Jews as the native inhabitants of the land? Something of a blow to this narrative is the fact that there is no mention of a Palestinian state in the Qu'ran. Caliph Salahuddin al-Ayyub invited the Jews to dwell in Jerusalem as he recognised it as their homeland. Why did he know nothing of Palestine? Therefore we may conclude that the claim of a people identified as "Palestinian" being from the Land of Ysrael is contrary to Biblical history, secular history and Islamic history.

Even more damming, the word that Arabs use for Palestine is "Falastin". This word is not a native Arabic word, but a loan word adapted from "Palaestina". How can it be that an ancient people of the region have a Latin name?

"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians or Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel" - Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of PLO and member of PLO Executive Council.

According to the United Nations, anyone who has spent two years in Palestine before 1948 is a Palestinian. They require no form of proof. Added to this, all of their ancestors are considered Palestinian. The PLO demand the right of all Palestinians to come back to the land they occupied before 1967 AD, but reject to return back to the land they lived in a mere 50 years before. If they agreed to do so, they'd be relocating back to Syria, Arabia, Libya, Egypt.

The land was bereft of these so called Palaestinan people, as evidenced by:

"There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent; not for thirty miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee... Nazareth is forlorn... Jericho lies in mouldering ruin... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature. A desolate country who soil is futile enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent and mournful expanse. We never saw human being on the whole route. Hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes, desolate and unlovely. - Mark Twain (1867)

"The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its futile soil." - Thomas Shaw, British Archaeologist (1700s)

"Palestine is a ruined and desolate land" - Constantine François Volney, French historian.

THE PHILISTINES

Now that the fallacy of the present day Palestine is established. You must no doubt be wondering who the Philistines really were. The Philistines were a confederation of non-Semitic peoples originating from Crete. They were Aegean. They arrived in Southern Canaan and where known as "Peleshtim" by Hebrews and Canaanites. They formed five self-governing City states along the coast roughly in the region called "the Gaza Strip" in recent times. These were Gaza, Ashdon, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. Nite that this does not cover the whole of Judah. Interestingly, the words Philistine and Palestine have a common meaning, "invader". The name is not derived from any ethnic denomination, but an adjective. Peleshet comes from the verb "Pelesh", having the meanings 'dividers', 'penetrators' or 'invaders'.

When the Minoic civilization collapsed, the Minoic culture disappeared from Crete. This as invaders from Greece took control of the island. The ancient Cretans arrived in Southern Canaan and invaded Egypt, where they were defeated by Ramose III in the 12th century BC. The invaders of Egypt were expelled towards other Mediterranean lands and did not evolve into any Arab people. They disappeared as a distinguishable people group during Roman times. Those dwelling in Canaan were defeated by King David. The remaining Philistines still dwelling in Gaza were subdued by Sargon II of Assyria, where they later disappeared from history entirely. They are no longer mentioned since the return of the Jews exiled in Babylon.

The bottom line is that no person exists today who can legitimately claim any ancestral connection to the Philistines. If these "Palestinians" insist, they are welcome to fight Greece for the return of their ancient homeland of Crete.

CANAAN

The Canaanites are historical acknowledged as the first inhabitants of the land of Ysrael. Therefore, the correct geographical name of the land is Canaan, not Palestine. The land of Canaan was comprised of seven tribes: the Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Yebusites, Hittites, Amorites, Girgashites. Their language was adopted from the Arameans and was thus closely related to Hebrew, not Arabic. The Canaanites (Phoenicians) didn't require interpreters to understand one another. These people followed the American destiny as ancient Ysrael and fell under Assyrian rule, then Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian, Seleucian and Roman. Throughout their history, the Canaanites intermarriage with different peoples who dwelt in their land land, mostly Greeks and Armenians. During the Islamic expansion they were Arabized, yet never fully assimilated. Their present-day state is Lebanon. A state erroneously regarded as an Arabs state, a label that the Lebanese people reject. The only mention of the term Arabic in the Lebanese constitution refers to the official language of the state, which does not make the Lebanese any more Arab than English spoken abroad the earth qualifies those people as British.

CONCLUSION

Now you know know who these people are. Now you know that you are being lied to by the media Arab interests. When a global conflict does occur, it will be the result of this lie. A very ancient lie very easily exposed. Its with a perverse enthusiasm that Globalists promote this fallacy and repeatedly attack the state of Ysrael. These Arabs have no claims to the land and were they truly to be the Philistines, should be fighting for their homeland, namely the island of Crete. Those Arabs dwelling in Ysrael are divided into two groups: Those who wish to live peacefully in the land with the Jewish people, and those who seek to conquer the territory, refusing assimilation and calling for violence. All in the name of Allah (Heylel).

The problems in the Middle East can all be traced back to a Big Book of Fairytales that was written by itinerant goatherds who were living in tents in the desert thousands of years ago.
People not only started reading the Big Book of Fairytales but actually started believing the Fairytales. Some believed the Fairytales said one thing while others disagreed and said the Fairytales said something else. They started fighting with each other and they've been fighting about what the Big Book of Fairytales says ever since.
Even today after we've discovered that the earth is round; after we've confirmed that neither the earth or the sun is the centre of the universe; after we've discovered things like the wheel; houses made of brick and stone; agriculture; physics; electricity; evolution; the internet and cryptocurrencies; many people are still fighting to this day about what the Fairytales actually say and they are killing people who don't agree with them.
At some time in history, people gave names to the Big Book of Fairytales . . . like the Bible, the Koran and the Tanakh . . . but really, it's all the same Fairytales. All the different versions start off with a Magic Beardman waving a wand and creating the sky, the land, the water, the sun and the stars and then - rather foolishly in hindsight - he made a man. He then took the rib of the man and - even more foolishly some would say - he made a woman. All the versions have a talking snake that told naughty fibs and an apple that the woman ate which condemned mankind to eternal sin.
These Fairytales are then followed by a story common to all versions of a man who collected breeding pairs of animals (like polar bears, kangaroos, jaguars, giraffes etc. that were all miraculously found living in the middle of the Sinai desert) and he herded them all onto a wooden boat that he'd built while it rained and rained so hard that all the land that Magic Beardman had created was covered in water. Thankfully none of the animals were hungry during all those months they were on the boat and the carnivores didn't eat the herbivores who in turn didn't need any grass or plants to eat. At some point the rain stopped and the water all went somewhere (we don't know exactly where) and all the animals got off the boat and ran off to live happily ever after . . . unless they were hunted to extinction later on in history.
There are many other Fairytales that are common to all the versions that people fought and killed each other over . . . like the burning bush that talked; the man who heard Magic Beardman telling him in his ear to kill his only son and who nearly did; the man who when confronted by a bunch of sodomites and perverts demanding that he turn over some random strangers to them for their sexual pleasure, refused and offered his own daughters to them instead; David who was sent into battle with the task of returning with 100 Philistine foreskins as a gift for Saul ; Jonah who was swallowed by a whale (we assume not a baleen whale) and who survived 3 days inside the whale's digestive system and lived to tell the tale . . . and many other wonderful Fairytales . . . all common to the Bible, the Koran and the Tanakh.
So what drives all these zealots to such hatred and bitter division if the scriptures are all the same? It's probably all around the Promised Land and who exactly was Promised what Land. That's what the writer of the OP is still whining about after all these years of scientific progress and what brainwashed morons like Beeno will also blather on about with equal passion and fervour.
If you ask me, Magic Beardman has a lot to answer for. His Big Book of Fairytales has caused more pain, suffering and hate than anything else in mankind's history. Incredibly, even to this day, many humans . . . perhaps still the majority of humans . . . some who have been educated . . . will still stand there with their fists clenched and their eyes bright with bloodlust and anger, insisting that their version of the Big Book of Fairytales is the correct one and anyone who disagrees with them should be killed.
