I think you mean will God deal with them? Probably. It seems that everyone that messes with the Jewish nation meets a terrible demise. Spain, Nazi Germany, etc.

No, the Palestinian Arabs are not linked with the Canaanites in besides. The Canaanites disappeared, probably by way of conflict and assimilation into different cultures, 3000 years in the past. The Palestinian Arabs are a a procedures greater moderen wave of immigration. in spite of the shortcoming of historic connection, Hamas does share something in hassle-unfastened with the Philistines. the two communities use/d a length of Mediterranean coast line (not precisely the comparable, yet some overlap inclusive of Gaza city) as a base from which to attack added inland. Neither observed this base as their usa and did little to develop infrastructure -- the two observed their 'residing house' as someplace else. the relationship ends there. yet in accordance to the Muslim mythology, that's all that's necessary to justify 60 years of hostilities in the direction of Israel.

The made-up Palestinian people, having a new identity, had to build themselves a history, namely, had to steal some others' history, and the only way that the victims of the theft would not complain is if those victims do no longer exist. Therefore, the Palestinian leaders claimed two contradictory lineages from ancient peoples that inhabited in the Land of Israel: the Canaanites and the Philistines.
It is from the term "Philistines" that the name "Palestinians" has been taken. Actually, the ancient Philistines and modern Palestinians have something in common: both are invaders from other lands! That is precisely the meaning of their name, that is not an ethnic denomination but an adjective applied to them: Peleshet, from the verb "pelesh", "dividers", "penetrators" or "invaders". The Philistines were a confederation of non-Semitic peoples coming from Crete, the Aegean Islands and Asia Minor, also known as "Sea Peoples". The main tribes were Tzekelesh, Shardana, Akhaiusha, Danauna, Tzakara, Masa or Meshwesh, Lukki, Dardana, Tursha, Keshesh or Karkisha, Labu and Irven. The original homeland of the group that ruled the Philistine federation, namely the "Pelesati", was the island of Crete. When the Minoic civilization collapsed, also the Minoic culture disappeared from Crete, as invaders from Greece took control of the island. These ancient Cretans arrived in Southern Canaan and were known as "Pelestim and Keretim" by Hebrews and Canaanites (that became allied to fight the invaders). Their first settlement seem to have been Gaza, whose original name was "Minoah", a clear reference to the fallen Minoic kingdom. They also invaded Egypt and were defeated by Pharaoh Ramose III in the 12th century b.c.e. The Philistines were organized in city-states, being the most important the Pentapolis: Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron, and their territory was close to the Mediterranean coast, a little longer and broader than the present-day "Gaza Strip" - not the whole Judah, they never reached Hevron, Jerusalem or Yericho!
Those Sea Peoples that invaded Egypt were expelled towards other Mediterranean lands and did not evolve into any Arab people, but disappeared as distinguishable groups in Roman times. Those dwelling in Canaan were defeated by King David and reduced to insignificance, the best warriors among them were chosen as David's bodyguard. The remaining Philistines still dwelling in Gaza were subdued by Sargon II of Assyria and after that time, they disappeared definitively from history. They are no longer mentioned since the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon.
Conclusion: there is not one single person in the world who may be able to prove Philistine lineage, yet, if Palestinians insist, they have to recognize themselves as invaders in Israel, and then they must ask Greece to return them back the Isle of Crete!
The Philistines are extinct and claims to alleged links with them are utterly false as they are historically impossible to establish. In any case, claiming a Philistine heritage is idle because it cannot legitimize any land in which they were foreign occupants and not native dwellers.

Philistines were of Greek origin. Palestinians are mostly of Arab origin. That is like claiming all Americans are Mayans and Aztecs just because they live in there former lands.
If the Romans called the land Hittite, they would be calling themselves Hittites, but it doesn't mean it is true.

Yes. The bible predicts in Ezekial 37-39 that God will only leave a sixth of the armies that attack Israel. I think in Zechariah it says Israel will be a wall of fire around Jerusalem. If they were taught the bible they would leave voluntarily. But they are being taught Hitler's Mein Kampf. They are inviting the inevitable.

Racists Zionists claim that the Ancient Jews who lived in the Holy Land 3000 years go were their ancestors while they deny the contemporary Palestinian people the right to claim their antecessors the Ancient Palestinian People
Palestine was the name of the Holy Land from the Roman time up to now Palestine is 2007 years old.
Why is it ok for new converted Jews to claim they are related to Ancient Jews while denying any claim by the native people of Palestine that they are related to Ancient Palestinian people?
The Right to exist. So dose Palestine.
The right to self-defense. So dose Palestine.
The right too claim. So do the Palestinians.
The 3 self Zionist contradictions.

st and ivri anochi hit the nail on the head. Philistines were Indo-European Greek people.
See, if you aren't a Jew, than in all probability, you are just an uneducated fool. People- crack open a textbook......
