Palestinians, where did they come from?

Question

Who were the first Palestinians?
Where did they come from?

The folks who call themselves "Palestinians" actually are immigrants from Egypt and Syria. They have no claim to the land, except for the fact that they've been squatters there for awhile.

Peace.

Really Egypt and Syria?

Answer 1

The name Palestine refers to a region of the eastern Mediterranean coast from the sea to the Jordan valley and from the southern Negev desert to the Galilee lake region in the north. The word itself derives from "Plesheth", a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as "Philistine". Plesheth, (root palash) was a general term meaning rolling or migratory. This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities. They did not speak Arabic. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs.

The Philistines reached the southern coast of Israel in several waves. One group arrived in the pre-patriarchal period and settled south of Beersheba in Gerar where they came into conflict with Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. Another group, coming from Crete after being repulsed from an attempted invasion of Egypt by Rameses III in 1194 BCE, seized the southern coastal area, where they founded five settlements (Gaza, Ascalon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gat). In the Persian and Greek periods, foreign settlers - chiefly from the Mediterranean islands - overran the Philistine districts.

From the fifth century BC, following the historian Herodotus, Greeks called the eastern coast of the Mediterranean "the Philistine Syria" using the Greek language form of the name. In AD 135, after putting down the Bar Kochba revolt, the second major Jewish revolt against Rome, the Emperor Hadrian wanted to blot out the name of the Roman "Provincia Judaea" and so renamed it "Provincia Syria Palaestina", the Latin version of the Greek name and the first use of the name as an administrative unit. The name "Provincia Syria Palaestina" was later shortened to Palaestina, from which the modern, anglicized "Palestine" is derived.

This remained the situation until the end of the fourth century, when in the wake of a general imperial reorganization Palestine became three Palestines: First, Second, and Third. This configuration is believed to have persisted into the seventh century, the time of the Persian and Muslim conquests.

The Christian Crusaders employed the word Palestine to refer to the general region of the "three Palestines." After the fall of the crusader kingdom, Palestine was no longer an official designation. The name, however, continued to be used informally for the lands on both sides of the Jordan River. The Ottoman Turks, who were non-Arabs but religious Muslims, ruled the area for 400 years (1517-1917). Under Ottoman rule, the Palestine region was attached administratively to the province of Damascus and ruled from Istanbul. The name Palestine was revived after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I and applied to the territory in this region that was placed under the British Mandate for Palestine.

The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name. It is the Arab pronunciation of the Roman "Palaestina". Quoting Golda Meir:

The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn't even pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity. [In an article by Sarah Honig, Jerusalem Post, November 25, 1995]

Answer 2

My inspiration is an individual on this little glad reply institution appear up the Ottoman Empire and their provincial areas. This field used to be conquered within the 1300's at no time used to be it given the title Palestine that is an insignificant six hundred years. Prior to them we now have the Saracen Empire they known as it Syria, Before Them Byzantium known as the field the Orient. The handiest persons to traditionally confer with the field have been the Romans and the it used to be Called Judea-Palestina or Syria Palestina. The file underneath is from the Ottoman Empire in 1906 to not lengthy earlier than Sykes-Picot. At the San Remo convention used to be the time period Palestine formally used to outline the field. This mentioned I consider for all the persons of the area the experts underneath which the are living can't keep in vigor without the continuous clash, This has located an undue complication on them, whilst the boarder with Israel is tightly managed because of the proclivity of a few to suicide bomb the field it isn't blockaded as a few might say. Simply appear on the map there may be an abundant boarders with Syria and Egypt.

Answer 3

They always lived there, read the old testament again and then start looking at the real archeoilogy reports. You will find the Bible does not describe the real Israel. The authors of it made up a Glorius History. Most state histories did that and even do it today. USA would never have conquered the world without John Wayne and Kirk Douglas.
