No it was not, look it up. And the reason for the Jewish diaspora was that the Romans ended up banning the Jews from Jerusalem.
And here's a mention of Palestine in Shakespeare's Othello
Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most of the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century. No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. When the distinguished Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: “There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in history, absolutely not.”
I believe Hitti knows far more about the history than Shakespeare.
The Palestinians are nothing more than remnants of the Philistines, which Jewish occupation of Israel predates by almost 200 years.
You do realize that the president of Palestine (Mahmoud Abbas) does not support nor get along with Hamas?
Hamas has usurped the authority of the Palestinian Authority (now in name only). They allowed it and, until they take it back, Palestine, as such, can have no future.
Nor should they recognize them. Israel has already given away some of thier land- that to some degree has got them in this position. Muslim countries have hundreds times the amount of land Israel does- let them give some of it to create a "new Palestine". I realize that won't happen- it's like a child that has 100 toys, but wants the one another child has. Palestine nor the muslims will never take Israel- God won't let them. However, they'll keep trying and getting multitudes of their own innocent people killed in the process. I'm not unsympathetic to their plight, but it's a losing cause. I have no sympathy for the looney tunes Hamas, however.
Philistine.
Israel Will Not Recognize Philistine Ever.
They did in the past....
Mircea
No, the Israelites attacked and conquered the Philistines, claimed that God gave them the land even though there were existing inhabitants.
