The "Palestinians" Are A Made Up Ethnic Group/Nationality

The "Palestinians" are actually just Arabs originally from the surrounding countries around Israel, particularly Jordan. Palestine is pronounced "Fil-iss-tine" as in the Philistines from the Bible in Arabic, Hebrew & Arabic. The current people referred to as Palestinians are not related to the actual Philistines, the Philistines came from the island of Crete, not Arabia.
Arab leaders & leftists came up with the idea of claiming to be descendants of the Philistines & Yasir Arafat & the PLO ran with it. It was a way to give their struggle more credibility in the eyes of western dupes.

Regardless of where you stand in regards to the Israel vs Hamas/"Palestinians" conflict...what I am saying is a well documented fact.

So are "Americans".

And "Canadians"
And "Australians".
And "Russians".

Thanks for the reminder ✌️

@GuiltyBiStander American isn't an ethnic group for one...it is a nationality though. There is no "Palestinian" nationality because there isn't and never was a country called Palestine...they are an ethnic group (Arabs) without a nation.

@SamInAZ

Right.

And as far as I know, no reasonable informed person believes Palestinans are distinct ethnic group. Which makes your post kind of confusing.

If you put 500 people of one nationality in the same room their genetics will not be the same.

My husband and I are in England. But I’m genetically a Celt and he is Anglo Saxon/Danish. Two ethnic and cultural backdrops under one nationality. And this is a straightforward example, it can be so much more complicated.

Take Americans as an example. 3 centuries of US history but they still crow on about being Irish, Italian, Dutch etc.

@SamInAZ I was assuming you had a good reason for your belief, like an article about the DNA of Palestinians. Apparently not.

@Morvoren Google is your friend. Do I have to do all your work for you:

@SamInAZ See that wasn’t hard was it? That’s how you keep a conversation going. Instead of being a bell end.

Pallestinians have ZERO legitimacy, no valid claim on the land of Israel and they already have a country called Jordan.. there will NEVER be a state carved out of the land of Israel called Palestine..

I'm sure you're right in your own way. The date palm tree had been a symbol of life and prosperity in the Land of Israel. Let them only be planted then 😁

From the RIVER to the SEA - a State of Palestine ... will NEVER be...
