@jimmy_esq The entire Philistine civilization was wiped out and destroyed before Herodotus was born, including all their cities.

That's not true. The term Palestine dates to pre-Christian Greek. Herodotus referred to the region as Palaistine, derived from the Philistines who lived there. The more important point is that leveraging the name of the region into some kind of proof of ownership is absurd.
David Collier@mishtal

For almost 2000 years, "Palestine" was simply a European Christian term for the "Holy Land" or "Land of Israel" That is why the British chose "Palestine" as the name of the mandate "Palestine" is a foreign, colonial label. The idea it has local historical roots is just stupid

Herodotus was a foreigner and the Philistines colonized part of the area, so it is technically is of foreign and colonial origin in your telling. Anyways, it's questionable if Herodotus actually visited the place, he certainly didn't venture beyond the Philistine Coast coast if he did, and he referred to the area as constituting part of Syria ("Palestinian Syria") Calling the whole area from river to sea including Galilee Palestine was a Roman innovation though; and it would remain a western and Christian concept going forward. Herodotus's "Palestine" was south of Phoenicia - an area that stretched down to Tel Dor. Galilee, the Jezreel Valley, Mt. Carmel, and the southern Negev weren't part of it. When the Arabs conquered the area, they had a Syrian sub-province of Filastin until 1100. It stretched from Gaza to Tel Dor, like the Greek concept. Then after the crusades the name disappeared until 1918.

@rrutman04 @Ee_ee3_e @abierkhatib @DrewPavlou So there’s a causational relationship between number of username changes on X and somebody’s cognitive ability and level of intelligence? Can you share the peer reviewed study that showed this please? I’d be interested to read it.

@kaurgillv @eddietheknife @abierkhatib @DrewPavlou Generally, they sleep at 2:50 am. Even in BC. You're really bad at this cosplay. Everyone in Canada knows that BC is on the west coast. Don't know why u have to point that out cosplayer. Unless you're trying to prove your bona fides? Not really working, troll.

@rrutman04 @eddietheknife @abierkhatib @DrewPavlou Hahaha...thanks for the laughs in BC at 2:50 pm. Didn't know people can't be up in Canada in the middle of the night. Again nothing to refute what this thread was about, the terrorist rogue state Israel, committing a genocide and pushing the world into WW3.

You're the one going on and on about bot farms, yet haven't been able to come up with a single point to refute the real issue you had replied on.

@rrutman04 @eddietheknife @abierkhatib @DrewPavlou You really can't be that pathetic...but then you're supporting a rogue terrorist state that's committing a genocide live for the world to see, & nothing to reply back other than bot. The 💩hole you're defending is hated around the world & biggest terrorist threat in the region.
