Philistines didn't have anything to do with so-called Palestinians. The Philistines were of Greek origin and settled in today's Gaza. Palestine was a name first given by the Roman Imperator Hadrian. He wanted to erase the Jewish people identity with their land. The Canaanites were the descendents of Canaan, son of Ham and grandson of Noah.
-
The Romans called the place Palestine to erase the Jewish connection to the place, and the British continued to call it that, and in the 1960s the Arabs adopted the name while rejecting it all the time in the past

My grandparents who lived there during the British mandate, had Palestinian passports, where it showed they were Jews. The Palestine post was a Hebrew newspaper. Don't fall for narratives. Just look at facts.

Hadrian changed the name of the Roman province of Judea to Syria Palaestina and renamed Jerusalem, the region's capital, Aelia Capitolina.

Abram came from the Summerian city of Ur and migrated to the promised land. Known later as Abraham, he became the father of the Jews and Arabs, through his sons Issac and Ishmael.

The earliest documented mention of "Israel" as a people appears on the Merneptah Stele, an ancient Egyptian inscription dating back to around 1208 BCE.

The Philistines are also called “the Caphtorim”, meaning the people from Caphtor (Island of Crete). "And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)" (Deuteronomy 2:23)

And idol worshipers.. they worshiped Baal and other deities. God gave the Israelites the land. After the Israelites disobedience they were casted to the four corners of the earth. But, given a date of yrs to return. That land is Jesus Christ stomping ground and the jews are his chosen ppl. He will fight for them.. sit bk and watch..

In 1406 BC, the Amorite Pentapolis of five cities controlled that area that would become the Philistine Pentapolis, but with different cities.

"Palestina" is a Greek name. For the Philistines, of course. Hadrian was so mad on the Jews that he wanted to disperse people and their culture. But actually he named the province "Syria", since there was already Syria, he got an old Greek name to designate it. Since the province seems to have been a satellite to the province of Syria, which was very important for the empire. So he named Syria Palestina.

Nice vid, thanks!

Herodotus called it Syrian Palestine so yes, it did exist before the Romans

Excellent video!

Just change the flag in the name of the country, and for all countries to agree that the country belongs to three different groups of people, and that will make it fair for everyone
-
there are hundreds of maps from before 1948 with the region named as Palestine
-
the Minoans were engaged in maritime trade throughout the Levant in the Middle Bronze period (ca. 2000–1500 BC). Some of this evidence suggests that they established trading colonies in Syria, Canaan and Egypt. A small, but growing, number of finds in Palestine provide tangible evidence for contacts between Canaan and Crete long before the 12th–11th century Philistines.” (The Genesis Philistines, Bryant Wood, May 31, 2006)
