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.

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.

@Morvoren This reply has nothing to do with what I am saying. I'm not talking about genetics..most of the Jews in Israel have North African & Arab in their genetics since most of them are of the Mizrahim Jewish extraction of the Jewish diaspora.
What I'm saying is the Muslim Arabs in that region made up the Palestinian(Philistine) connection in order to make claims that they are descended from a group that was in the land prior to the Israelites/Jews.
The Philistines are a dead ethnic group & they were not related to Arabs or Jews. They were from Crete. Arabs are from the desert, Philistines literally means "Sea-faring peoples".

@SamInAZ I don’t think you’re qualified to say the Philistines aren’t related to Arabs or Isrealis.
The Picts no longer exist, but that’s because they assimilated into the Scots. There’s no reason they aren’t descended. Your suggestion might tie everything up in a nice neat bow to suit you agenda, but life just doesn’t work that way.

@Morvoren The DNA shows they aren't related. I don't need to be qualified when there are people that are qualified that already proved what I am saying via DNA studies.😄
Jews & Arabs are related...neither one is related genetically to the ancient Philistines.

@SamInAZ Is that so? Show me.

Morvoren · F

@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.
