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.

@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.

Right.

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