Palestinians appeared in the Bible as coming from Crete or its empire.== Totally Incorrect



The writer confuses the Phillistines with the Palestinians. They are totally different peoples separated by millenia. The Phillistines are theorized as most like Sea People of Greek origin who settled in the Gaza area after the Sea Peoples Wars of upheaveal in the 12 century BCE. Its been said that the Phillistines are Pelgasians who settled in the area after defeat by the Egyptians in 2 wars. The Pelgasians were just one of the Sea People Nations who were a diverse group including Libyans,and Iberians. It has been also posited that that the key to the Sea Peoples power was the bronze trade, That trade was replaced by iron technology in the 12th century BCE.
The Pelgasians origin is unknown as they destroyed the Mainland Greek civilization the Myceneans. The Myceneans had overrun the Minoans a hundred years before. The Minoans civilization has been devasted and nearly destroyed by a great tsunami from the volcanic eruption at Thera or Santorini.
The Phillistines stated conquering from the west and the coast while the Hebrew people expanded from the Judean hills in the east. They clashed in the Old Testament in stories about Samson and David among others. Eventually they were defeated by the Israelites and waves of conquest by the Assyrians , Babylonians and Persians. By Roman times they were extinct and assimilated.
Herodotus mentions visiting the area in the 600's BCE. When the word Phillistine was translated to Latin by Roman scholars centuries later it was called Palaestina. Emperor Hadrian upon defeating Bar Kochba and the Judeans in the Second Jewish War (135 CE) chose that name for the entire area to erase the name of Judea.

And so until the Arab conquest in 642 it was called Palestine. In that time it had become the European name for the area. The Arabs called it Lower Syria. It had not become popular name among the Arabs until the Crusades. Still it was not popular enough for the subsequent conquerors the Mamelukes and Ottoman Turks to use the term. Arabs unable to pronounce the P to this day call it Falistine. When the British Empire took the area as a League of Nations mandate it revived the word for the colony.
During the colony period Jews and Arabs called themselves Jewish and Arab Palestinians.
When the Jews became Israelis in 1948 the Arabs were left without an identity. They were not Jordanian or Egyptian and were occupied by Arabs of those states.
Just before the 1967 Six Day War, Yasir Arafat in a brilliant move revived the term "Palestinians" to mean Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. This differentiated them from Egypt and Jordan and gave then an identity as a people and nation. Artificial but real.
So todays Palestinians are Arabs who were segregated from other nations by the Arab League as a cancer to continually fester alongside Israel
The most of the Muslim Arabs are a result of migrations of Arab tribes from Arabia from the 9th to 12th centuries across the area into North Africa, The Christian Arabs are descendant of Canaanite or Phoenician and Hebrew peoples from Amorite and Aramean migrations in the second and first millenna BCE To this add the Greek people from the Hellenistic migrations after Alexander the Great.
So many Palestinian Arabs are likely to have some descent from Jews from the time of Jesus.

World Jewish Power

Anti-Semites in order to give their meaningless wandering lives some meaning create the mega-powerful Jewish world domination. Its carefully constructed to victimize though. By setting their sites on a tiny people only 12 million out of 6 billion and a tiny nation 13 mile wide Israel; they are setting a realistic goal of victory. I mean if the white hordes can't overpower the Great Jewish Conspiracy what is their worth after all. Somewhat similar to Hitlers blame game and of course progial to Hitlers efforts it looks winnable. Essential to the effort is the opening volley--denial of the Holocaust. If this were to actually succeed then its a good sign or premonition of victory. Such a success in actually revising documented history would emulate Hitlers concept of the big lie and parallel Orwells future society of constant historical revision.
So Anti-semites first must build up the image of Jewish invincability. They MUST put the Jews in a pedestal so they can teasr on down with ferocity and righteousness!!!
Even they must relish the evil in this plan. Thy must feel the hand of Satan (figuratively and metaphorically of course) on their shoulders. They create a Jewish elite than rules America
And this aristocracy rules the globe too! America is portrayed as a Jewish colony. And this elite is poratrayed as Organized much like the Nazis the anti-semites worship so dearly.
The language is based on race since anti-semites are racialists and racists. All struggle between Israel and the Araba and the Jews and themselves are described in race!
They use the well worn paths of European Jew hatred to fulfill their holy crusade.
