How did Palestine get its Name? (Documentary)

Palestine is a region that has been inhabited for thousands of years due to it being a nexus point between multiple major empires. It is a region that was home to different tribes, cultures, and religions in the past, which today is contested over. But what is the true origins of Palestine? Where did it's name come from? And why is it used today?

[@dulcemoutinho5820]

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.

[@HistoryLeaks]

100% right, the Romans did try to disassociate the Jews from the province of Judea. The Canaanite’s are a bit more mysterious in my opinion, and quite loosely defined, as they were not just one solid empire but many tribes and groups who had a similar language, grouped together as Canaanites.

and? The populating in Palestine in 1800 was 250,000 people. Arab, Christian, Jewish, Turk, Circassian and more. At the year 1915 the population raised to 450,000. It too the population 110 years to double itself from 250,000 to 450,000. Then from 1915 to 1945 the population again doubled it self in 30 years. So what do you think. One morning everyone derided to make babies from morning till eve? I got a feeling it wasn't natural growth. 50% of all Arabs in Palestine in 1948 came after 1917. To work under the British mandate. 50% is around 450,000 people maybe a bit more. From the other 50% also not all natives. Its not surprising that to be considered by the UN to be a Palestinian refugee. You only need to prove you lived in Palestine between 1946 to 1948, You don't need to prove 1 generational connection. You can be a Syrian who was born in Syria. Who came to British Mandate Palestine in 1925 for work. left after the war of 1948. Came to the US. Got citizenship. Made a family in the US.

Israel” has been the name of an ethnic group in the Levant going back at least 3200 years, based on the first known mention of the name in the written record, which was in ancient Egypt. That is a hieroglyphic inscription on the Merneptah Stele (also known as the "Israel Stele" The term "Palestine" first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories. 👉After Herodotus, the term `Palestine' came to be used for the entire region which was formerly known as Canaan. The Canaanites are to be destroyed “that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you sin against the Lord your God” (Deut. 20.18).

No one today can prove that they are a descendant of the Ancient Israelites neither in the 1940's. Now what qualified them to be Israelites coming from Europe and not anyone else from Africa or Asia or Middle Eastern countries? I believe Theodur Herzl said let's go to Palestine/Israel and Europeanize it. He wanted to take a white culture to a Indigenous semitic culture. Netanyahu's family are descendants of Poland so how does he trace himself to be of the Ancient Israelites? Israel was whitewashed when those European Jews emigrated to Israel. The ANCIENT ISRAELITES were not white people. They had olive to dark skin. The European Jews brought their culture to Israel like their clothing, Top Hats and Black Ling overcoats and other things. The Israelites wore Middle Eastern garments. The people who emigrated from Eastern European countries just said they were Jews, Zionist Jews, who moved to the Holy Land in the Zionist nationalist political movement ideology. They wanted a homeland because of antisemitism. Most of them were secular and not spiritual. Zionism is a man-made nationalist political ideology and not from God. It was not a return from God. They thought about moving to Argentina and Uganda in Africa. Just go to another country or land and take up residency irregardless of the people already living there. This goes to saying that had they not gone to Palestine/Israel they would have made somewhere else their HOMELAND. They emigrated to Israel and some bought land and the rest took it aggressively and gained more land by winning a war with the Palestinians. The British, and others gave the Jews military training and weapons so they had the upper hand in fighting the Palestinians and winning the wars between each other.

The failure stemmed from a disconnect between imperial aspirations and the realities of managing diverse territories.

The lesson lies in recognizing the aspirations of local populations and adapting strategies accordingly, emphasizing diplomacy alongside military might to navigate complex geopolitical landscapes. 🎉❤🎉 In both the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War, the strategic miscalculations were evident. The failure to understand the cultural and historical dynamics, coupled with an underestimation of local resilience, played a pivotal role.

The Palestinians have Canaanite/Judean/Samaritans and of Levant ancestry. They are genetically are directly descendant from Jews and later Christians who converted over the millennia. They are the people of the land, the continual descendants of farmers, herders, and fishermen etc from the land between the River and the Sea for much of modern history these people have been known as Palestinians. It's important we recognize this fact before we discuss the name. The Egyptians knew the region as P'lsht and the Greeks called it Philistine though the name has been interchangeable since the Ancient Egyptians and later the name was changed when the Romans took over and this happened when Judea fell and the province was named Palestina by Rome by using the regional name as accepted by Greeks and Egyptians as well as Syriacs. Byzantium continued the name of Palestine and the Ottomans who inherited the region from Byzantium did the same. For 2000 years the land has been known as Syria-Palestine, Palestine, Palestine-Jordan and generally the particular province was known as Palestine. The people never left only the ruling class and those who rebelled during the Judean-Roman Wars were expelled. The ones who accepted Roman rule remained and eventually converted under pressure to Christianity then Islam. They are culturally related to Arabs, but are not genetically significant in anyway Arabian. They just share a religion and Semitic language with unique Palestinian dialect and this has remained true since they spoke Aramaic which still has influence in modern Palestinian words and names of their villages and towns. Only recently has this been changed and at times lost due to Israeli incursions into Palestinian lands.

If you are so sure that "Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history," I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine: 1. When was it founded and by whom? 2. What were its borders? 3. What was its capital? 4. What were its major cities? 5. What constituted the basis of its economy? 6. What was its form of government? 7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? 8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? 9. What was the language of the country of Palestine? 10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? 11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date. 12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? You are lamenting the "low sinking" of a "once proud" nation.

Reason why the Jews who were born in Israel before 1948 like the Jew Gokda Meir were also Palestinians. Therefore technically, there is no such thing as Palestine.

Totally correct.Besides them, many Arab sources confirm the fact that the Holy Land was still Jewish by population and culture in spite of the Diaspora: ·In 985 c.e. the Arab writer Muqaddasi complained that in Jerusalem the large majority of the population were Jewish, and said that "the mosque is empty of worshippers..." . ·Ibn Khaldun, one of the most creditable Arab historians, in 1377 c.e. wrote: "Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years... It was the Jews who implanted the culture and customs of the permanent settlement". After 300 years of Arab rule in the Holy Land, Ibn Khaldun attested that Jewish culture and traditions were still dominant. By that time there was still no evidence of "Palestinian" roots or culture . ·The historian James Parker wrote: "During the first century after the Arab conquest [670-740 c.e.], the caliph and governors of Syria and the [Holy] Land ruled entirely over Christian and Jewish subjects. Apart from the Bedouin in the earliest days, the only Arabs west of the Jordan were the garrisons". Even though the Arabs ruled the Land from 640 c.e. to 1099 c.e., they never became the majority of the population. Most of the inhabitants were Christians (Assyrian and Armenian) and Jews.

[@MrBerto800]

This is true. And “Palestine” was the regional ((exonym)) of the area. Not the endonym. Shakespeare was English, who would have learned this exonym as an Englishmen from British’s conqueror Rome, who referred to the area “Syria Palaestina” at some point, who loved Greek everything. And the Greek sea peoples had territory on the coast called Philistia. Within this area was the Roman province called Judea, which was the territory of the Judahites, amongst many other ethnic groups/states/kingdoms. The Egyptians didn’t call themselves Egyptians and the people in India don’t call themselves Indian. These are exonyms used by outside peoples. “Germany” = exonym. Real name “Deutschland” = endonym. We tend to refer to places by the conquerer/colonial power. The endonym of that area was never Palestine. We pretty much piggy back our names for places off the exonyms used by Rome and Greece. There is an interesting connection though, between the word Israel and Palestine as well. Israel meaning wrestles with God and Palaistís meaning wrestler in Greek.

Before 1948, was there a state or country called Israel ? Israel itself what does it mean ? It means the descendants of the 12 children of Yacoob, who is known as Israel. While the children of Israel were enslaved in Egypt, that land was occupied by its original inhabitants, the cananites whose blood modern day Palestinians still carry in their veins. Palestinians didn’t drop from the sky, they did not immigrate to Palestine from Saudi Arabia or some other Arab country , Palestine is their historical home. That is not your case, many of you immigrated to Palestine from Europe, especially Eastern Europe and North America. Before Netanyahu all the leaders of Israel were born outside of it! Netanyahu himself, Netanyahu isn’t his real last name, he is the son of a polish man, Benzion Mileikowsky. North America originally belongs to Native Americans, so should everyone leave America and give it back to Native Americans who owned it thousands of years ago? Are European Russian or Polish Je..ws really the descendants of these 12 tribes? And even if you were, that doesn’t give you the right to kick people of their land and then use the Bible to justify your theft of Palestinian land, you destroyed more than 500 Palestinian villages, massacred countless thousands of them in order to create your country. That is morally wrong, a people chosen by God would not engage in such immorality and criminality.

[@HistoryLeaks]

Historically it wasn’t as simple as a bunch of People showing up and kicking Palestinians off the land. Majority of Israelis today are actually Middle Eastern Jews, as Jews had populations in many places, Yemen, Morocco, Baghdad as well Jerusalem and Palestine. In the late 1800s and early 1900s a lot of Jewish people began to immigrate to Palestine, joining groups already there. According to many accounts from that time the land was desolate and there wasn’t much prosperity there. Look at mark twains account of his trip to Palestine. The Jews bought land from local Arabs there at very high prices, and slowly slowly more and more came like that. That’s how it went for decades. The moment war broke out was in 1948 when Israel finally declared itself a state. It’s not as simple as they kicked another group out, there was a lot more going on. You should look into it.

[@Caro-ys4kk]

@@HistoryLeaks The population of Jews in Historical Palestine was about 3% in the 19th century. The Jews had been kicked out and exiled since Roman times. In fact the second Khalif of Islam Umaar resettled Jews back in Palestine when the Muslims took Control of Palestine in the 7th century. Anti semitism is historically a problem of Christian Europe and one of the misguided reasons for Christian Europe’s antisemitism is their religious belief that the Je..ws killed their God Jesus of Nazareth who was himself a Palestinian Jew born at a time when his country Palestine was under occupation by the Romans and his family had to flee as refugees. Antisemitism historically was never a problem of the Islamic world where Jews lived peacefully. The Arabs themselves who are a big part of the Islamic world are Semites, being the descendants of Abraham through his first born child , Ishmael the son of Hagar. The Islamic world is today opposed to Israel because of Israel’s occupation and cruel treatment of Palestinians not because they are antisemites. And to this day small communities of Jews live peacefully in the Islamic world, in Iran for example and nobody bothers them. After 1948, a lot of Mizrahi Jews immigrated to the newly created state of Israel. Mizrahi Jews ( Moroccan, Algerian, Iraqi Jews , etc.) are second class citizens in Israel, the European Ashkenazi Jews in Israel’s elite class look down on them , a sort of racism, the Ethiopian Jews are hated in Israel, their women being sterilized by Israeli doctors without their consent. the Ashenaze European Jews treat the Mizrahi Jews better than they treat the Arabs but they still look down on the Mizrahi Jews. The Jews had their second golden age in Andalusia under Islamic rule where the great Jewish Scholar Maimonides lived. When Christian Europe kicked the Jews out of Spain in the 15th century, the Muslims gave refuge to the Jews, in Morroco, Palestine, Iraq, all over the Islamic world. America and many Western countries turned Jewish refuges away during the Second World War while Muslims including Palestinians took these Jewish European refugees in. How did you repay the Palestinians? You took their land. Mizrahi Jews are middle Easterners, Ashkenazi Jews according to DNA, DNA have extensive European ancestry especially their paternal lineages, they are mostly Eastern European. Sephardic Jewish are of Spanish and Portuguese descent. Palestinians, Lebanese , these are middle Easterners. «Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, but not in genetic, differences.» I’ll include the source link at the end. Now if both peoples have ancient Canaanite DNA, and the ancient Canaanites are the original inhabitants of Historical Palestine but Jewish presence in that land was interrupted for thousands of years due to persecution and exile where the Jewish miscegenated with the peoples of Europe while Palestinian presence in that land was never interrupted and remained continuous throughout the ages, who has more claim to the land? Again, should everyone leave America, Australia, and Canada and give it back to the North American native population and the Aborigines who are the original inhabitants of North America and Australia? For those who say Palestine was never a state before Israel was created in 1948, why did Palestinians including Jewish immigrants who settled in Palestine before 1948 like Golda Meir have Palestinian passports before1948! It is now after Israel was created on Palestinian land that Palestinians lost their country and no longer have passports since their country no longer exists, having been replaced by Israel since 1948. What Israel did was unjust and immoral. You killed thousands of Palestinians in 1948, you destroyed more than 500 Palestinian villages, you exiled more 700,000 thousand Palestinians in 1948 in order to create your state. Today most Ashkenazi Israelis have ancestry else where, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.. You then demonize the Palestinians as terrorists for rightfully fighting to end the occupation of the little that remains of their land , you even attempt to erase their existence as a people, to erase their history. In this recent conflict we have seen Israeli soldiers desecrating Cemeteries in Gaza with bulldozers, killing more than 10,000 Palestinian children, the settlers in the West Bank regularly harass Palestinian farmers, burning their olive groves, kidnapping Palestinian children and jailing them without charges for years, raping Palestinian children in Israeli jails as documented by the US state department, bulldozing Palestinian houses in the West Bank where there is no Hamas, kicking Palestinians out of their houses in the West Bank and etc. But then what explains this behavior is the Talmud which says that non Jews are lower than dogs. You don’t actually see non Jews as human beings, this is why the Israeli army has no qualms about dropping 2000 pound bombs in a densely populated civilian area, on hospitals. Recently Israeli soldiers crushed Palestinians in tents in Gaza to death with bulldozers. How the heck is this moral ? What justifies this barbarism and Terrorism?

The Palestinian are indigenous Canaanites and then who became Isrealites then who converted to Christianity while some still stayed Jewish and then some converted to Islam, the Palestinians have Canaanite DNA and Israelite DNA. If you do DNA of Palestinian Muslims, Christian’s and Jews they will all have similar DNA, and the rest have European DNA who are settler colonisers.

[@SketchyGhettoSpic]

This is totally inaccurate. The Ashkenazim, which are a subgroup of the Jewish people, were originally Judean and Galilean Jews that were displaced by the Roman and Muslim empires. They ended up fleeing to and SETTLING in the Bulgarian coast and later on moved northward and eastward deeper into Europe. They have Levantine DNA and features, which is why the Europeans always looked at them as outsiders and perpetually persecuted them. The Ashkenazim were a minority when the State of Israel was declared by the United Nations. The majority of Jews in Israel in 1948 were Sephardic, Mizrahi, and Yemenite Jews.

[@HistoryLeaks]

I'm pretty sure the biggest group of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi, who are all from the middle east. Modern Palestinians may have a percentage of Canaanite DNA (we don't know for sure there isn't any research I could find unfortunately) We can only infer from research done on Lebanon.

[@Kris77777]

The region was colonized by Babylon, Persia, Greeks, Romans and Arabs. Colonizers come in all colors and ethnic groups. This is why the Jews come in all colors and ethnic groups as well. When they were captured and taken to Babylon, they were immersed in that people group. When they were conquered and dispersed throughout the Roman empire, they were immersed into European people groups as well. Colonization is how you can have nations like Egypt, Algeria and Lebanon be considered Arab when they are not. Arabs are indigenous to Arabia and Jews are indigenous to Judea and Samaria. Hope this helps clarify 💕

Caesar Hadrian renamed Judea “Palestine” which means literally: “Land of the Philistines” a. Today when you visit Jerusalem and one of the local Arabs insists you call it Palestine not Israel, ask him if he is a decendant of Goliath the Philistine. b. Today, there is no “land of Palestine” or “Palestinian people” any more than there are Philistines! c. 99% of these Arabs living in Israel today are migrants from other Muslim nations with no occupational history more than a few dozen years. d. In AD 1900, almost nobody lived in Canaan/Israel.

It’s Greek for Israel. Loosely, Israel means wrestle. “Pales” is Greek root for wrestler.

I’m gonna take a wild guess here, 6.? 🤔

[@TheOldWeigh]

@HistoryLeaks Precisely. Now I ask you. Where were they during all these invasions. Surely thered be some record of Cananite descendants fighting these invading armies? My conclusion is either there's bn a big cover up or They Didn't exist. Palestinian Arabs didn't set foot in *Judea* until the 7th Century and the Claims They Make to that heritage, and by extension the idea that Their Prophet travelled to Jerusalem on a winged Chimera and then ascended into heaven from the Temple mount (the only reason they starved Latin Christian Jerusalem into submission in the first place) is all contrived nonsense.

'Palestine' Region got nothing to do with nationality as its was the name that was given to this region regardless of the nationality. A common misperception is that the Jews were forced into the diaspora by the Romans after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 A.D. and then, 1,800 years later, suddenly returned to Palestine demanding their country back. In reality, the Jewish people have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3,500 years; whether living in exile in Europe, America Or Asia. A national language - Hebrew and a distinct civilization have been maintained in the Holy Land - Israel. The Jewish people base their claim to the land of Israel on at least three premises: 1) the Jewish people settled and developed the land; 2) the international community granted political sovereignty in British palestine region to the Jewish people and created 2 States: Jordan and Israel 3) some territory was captured from Jordan and Syria in defensive wars in 1967. The term "Palestine" is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what is now Israel and the Gaza Strip. They worshipped the god Dagon - half man, half Fish. The Biblical Philistines were conquered and wiped out by the Persian Empire in the 6th. century BC and disappeared from history. In the second century A.D., after crushing the last Jewish uprising, the Romans occupiers first applied the name 'Palaestina' to Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) and Samaria in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel. The Arabic word "Filastin" is derived from this Latin name. The Twelve Tribes of Israel formed the first constitutional monarchy in palestine about 1000 B.C. The second king, David, first made Jerusalem the nation's capital. There was no Christianity or Islam then. Although eventually Palestine was split into two separate kingdoms, Jewish Independence there lasted for 212 years. This is almost as long as Americans have enjoyed independence in what has become known as the United States. Even after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the beginning of the exile, Jewish life in Palestine region continued and often flourished. Large communities were reestablished in Jerusalem and Tiberias by the ninth century. In the 11th century, Jewish communities grew in Rafah, Gaza, Ashkelon, Jaffa and Caesarea. Many Jews were massacred by the Crusaders during the 12th century, but the community rebounded in the next two centuries as large numbers of rabbis and Jewish pilgrims immigrated to Jerusalem and the Galilee. Prominent rabbis established communities in Safed, Jerusalem and elsewhere during the next 300 years. By the early 19th century-years before the birth of the modern Zionist movement, more than 10,000 Jews lived throughout what is today Israel. When Jews began to immigrate to Palestine Region in large numbers in 1882, fewer than 100,000 Arabs lived there, and the majority of them had arrived as migrants in recent decades from neighbouring arab countries looking for work. Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most 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." In fact, Palestine is never explicitly mentioned in the Koran, rather it is called "the Holy Land" (al-Arad al-Muqaddash). Prior to partition, palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted: 'We consider 'Palestine' as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds.' In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no 'Palestine' in the Holy Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria." Till the June 1967 arab-Israel War there was no demand for 'palestine'! At that time, Egypt and Jordan, both Muslim arab States, were occupying the land! Therefore, this conflict has nothing to do with land but another attempt to replace Israel with a Muslim State - without Christians and Jews! Also, don't forget that Jesus (Yeshua) Christ was a Jew of ancient Israel. Most people (Anti-semites) reply to this historical reasoning with laughing emojis or hate talk but no historical, verifiable facts.
