A Lebanese Palestinian Christian Runs Down Israel/Palestine

My maternal grandparents were some of the 1948 "Palestinian" refugees.
I was born in Lebanon where I was born again in 1990.
I believe the Book. And here's the history of "Israelestine" from the Romans to today. Hopefully this will help you guys out as you ponder and discuss this subject which the word of God describes as a "controversy" (Isa.34:8) - one between God and man. Guess who wins :)

I have not been able to watch your video yet; we know that the Phillistines were Greeks. Probably the jihadi psychopaths obliterated the Philistines almost 1400 years ago. DNA could quickly resolve the issue.

They weren't Greeks. (I'm a Greek originally). Scholarship says they were Greeks. The Bible is categorical that they were Hamitic Egyptians:

Maybe there is academic division but the Philistines of Scripture, such as Goliath came from the islands of the Aegean Sea and were Greek or Greek related. This is confirmed by the Encyclopedia Britannica. Other sources have said that their pottery came from the Aegean Sea area and that the Greeks recognized them and the Romans learned of them from the Greeks. Palestine is just the Latin word for Philistine. Clearly, they are all dead and the people in Gaza are Arabs.

That's a lot of academia and very little Bible.
A) The word of God is clear: they were Hamitic Egyptians. (Gen.10:6, 13-14)
B) The video debunks the article connecting them to 13th century BC Greeks.

It is certain that they were not Arabs and the people in Gaza now are Arabs.

They seem to have an Aegean origin before landing in Gaza:

Where Did the Philistines Come From?

I believe that the jihadi psycopaths after the death of Mohammed murdered everyone who did not convert to Islam. That is the reason that many ancient peoples have disappeared--they were absorbed into the Arab world or they were murdered by the Arabs.
