It is because of Hadrian's policy that the world referred to Judea as 'Palestine' for almost 2 millennia; the original inhabitants were not Arabs, but Hebrews who were eventually scattered (hence the Jewish Diaspora). Which goes back to your lecture to Ms. States, which I found rather erroneous. So I added a bit of history for all of us to take into consideration. Since antiquity, this region in the world was known as Yehudah ( from The tribe of Judah).
Warm regards,
baby boy Lorenzo.
let me try to follow the thread of your logic.
so the original inhabitants were hebrews and not arabs, as you say in your post? (quoted thus)
since you yourself posted (#82) that abraham and his followers originally came from ur (present-day iraq), and they were hebrews, who, then, were the true original inhabitants? what makes the hebrews, who were immigrants as you’ve said, more original to the place compared to other immigrants who were not hebrews?
my, everybody there, after all, was an immigrant, though it seems to you that some immigrants are more original than others and thus have more right to the place. ugh. let that be said about 5th generation fil-ams, your own generation notwithstanding. it’s called discrimination, right?
if my “lecture†to states was erroneous, you may write to historians about how misleading their book entries were. it looks like you know more than they do.
here’s that “erroneous†post (post #7). tell me what's in it to undermine states with.
sorry, statesville, but i beg to disagree with this statement (not necessarily with you). one group of the so-called philistines did come from crete, at around 1190BC; most of these groups of philistines are of mediterranean and greek origin.
the current palestinians are descendants of abraham as the israelis--- a more apt and current term instead of 'jews'--- are descendants of the same patriarch. (that makes israelis and palestinians blood relatives in the strict sense of the word.)
lineage aside, if we say that these 'philistines' need to go back to crete (it's not a country but a mediterranean island that is part of greece), they who have settled in gaza for more than a thousand years before christ, surely you will find it unthinkable if present americans (the whites, for purposes of this discussion) are deemed to need to go back to their countries of origin in europe because america belongs to native americans. unthinkable, right? to think that white americans started settling in the new world only in the 1500s after christ while the 'philistines' settled in the currently named palestine for more than a millennium before christ.
of note in these current times is that palestinians hold titles to the land and their houses that are bulldozed to make way for israeli settlements. any country will go to war if this is done to its people.â€
p.s. when you say “since antiquity…â€, in essence it means “from ancient times until now…â€. unfortunately, nowadays there’s no such place named yehudah.
sweet dreams,
islander
