The Real Origins of the Philistines and Palestinians

[@johnnypunish]

As a Palestinian, I have family who are both Christian and Muslim. Our mix is a mess of Mediterranean Peoples, Arab Nomads and Religions. Actually, in the 21st century, it turns out we are HUMAN BEINGS just like everyone else. Who knew?

[@funfunny9328]

Can you understand Arabic?

[@johnnypunish]

@@funfunny9328 LOL! Why do you ask? Of course, I speak Arabic. My mom's first language is Arabic. Later, as a refugee in Lebanon, she went to a French Catholic school and learned French. Much later in life, she learned English. But it was broken. Arabic was our language at home. Arabic was the language among the family. Now, I live in Mexico and speak Spanish too... so now, in 2020, I am a citizen of the world communicating with everyone in whatever way works. I think this is the future for all humanity. The age of colonization is dead has been replaced by Globalization. The European colonization of Palestine might be the last ever......globalization does NOT provide incentive for colonization. All one needs to do is start a global business and that colonizes for profits and control of resources. Its a new world and the 20th century has no future. My two cents.

[@funfunny9328]

@@johnnypunish that's great. I meant it in a good way:) I'm a supporter of everything Palestinian though im not from Palestine. I would like to share with you a work of a historian who spent most of his life studying Middle Eastern history in ancient times especially that of Palestinian. His work dismantles the zionist view of world history especially Eastern ancient history since it plays a major role to justify occupation of Palestinian land. Are you interested lol? Its a very detailed formative episode on KZbin and of course the historian has books discussing this in detail.

[@TheMadmacs]

its possible to be hateful without doing it overtly, the first clue was when he named the modern countries positions in relation to the old map and names, he mentioned lebanon israel and egypt, so modern palestine doesnt exist? i'm afraid it does, its occupied but it exists. then the bit about 1948 jews won the war of independence....... this is a very dark period in israeli history. there was no war of independence, what actually happened is the UN gave israel statehood, 55% of palestine. israels first action was to ethnically cleanse all the arabs out. it has provoked endless violence ever since because it knew it would win any fight especially when america started backing it. i'm afraid this kind of lecture is riddled with flaws and lies. i recommend ilan pappe and gabor mate to get a better more honest view of what happened. i'm not arab or jew i'm not religious at all, and i'm sick of the world being in turmoil because jews have mistreated the native people of the area. the native jews of palestine thought creating an israeli state was insane..... looks like they were right.

[@jeanene72]

@TheMadmacs Agreed. I started watching this one hoping to find something with truth to share,but it is, like you said riddled with so many flaws it can't be used to explain the truth of the matter. DNA does not make a person good or evil. Thankfully, God judges on our works, not those of our ancestors. Ezek 18:20 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. [21] But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. [22] All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. [23] Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? [24] But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die." When the Philistines (and others) were corrupt and committing abominations, they were to be removed from the land. But Israel also fits that category, because God also kicked them out of the land. Those people are dead now, and even if the present-day Palestinians are their descendants, they are not to be held liable for their ancestors' sins. What Israel is doing now, is the pot calling the kettle black lost after the kettle has been cleaned up.

I'm Greek and very interested in the late-bronze-age collapse. My very own avatar is a Cretan figurine that certainly looks like a Peleset from Egyptian artwork. But I'm really sceptical about some aspects of the analysis. For instance, Greek burrial customs didn't include mouth-guards, but rather full face mascs. And cremation was very common, in contrast with Philistine burrials, where the bodies were laid entire. Also, the inlet photo in 30:36 is not from Philistine. The central piece is a recognizable crown found in the Dead-Sea, and many of the others are wands, scepters and pommels probably attached to wooden scepters or clubs. None of these items seems to be a mouth-guard. There is a widespread acceptance that Philistines were indeed the Peleshet. And the word Peleset does have a superficial connection with Pelasgoi, or Pylos, or Phaistos and other Greek names. But the link of the Peleset with the Achaians is far from established, appart from some scarce linguistic and art referances. There is a huge linguistic gap between the names and toponyms of late bronze/early iron age Cannaan (such as Goliath and Gath for instance) and what we read in linear b script (the palatial scripture of the Achaians which is a recognlzable form of early Greek). Linear b was syllabic, therefore single-syllable toponyms such as Gath or Dan would be highly improbable. On the contrary, it seems that the Greeks rather tended to add furhter syllables! As an example, the disciphered refference to "slave women from To-ro-ja" may actually reffer to Troy (Troia in Greek, Truassa in Luvian). The notion of "origin" in general (in early historiography), is tricky. As a relativelly recent example, historians of the 18th century AD, were saying that "pirates originated from Martinique" while we now know for a fact that they initially came from allover the globe, gathered and organised themselves in Martinique and used it as their initial base. Speaking about sea-peoples we tend to forget how cosmopolitan late-bronze age was! Sea-people stronghold was probably Cyprus (Alassiya in Egyptian). Therefore, the given origin of Crete (Capthor) is certainly older, the question is how much older. It's one thing to mean that Peleset came from Caphtor to Alassiya, and another one to mean that they literally originated in Capthor. It is even possible that the Peleset were a group of revolted slave-tribes from the Aegean (much like how the Israelites identify themselves in Exodus), but they don't appear to be Greek-speaking. And we cannot say otherwise without written evidence of the actual ancient Philistine language, yet to be found.

[@PeterMilanovski]

Full face masks were a Macedonian burial custom, greek burial custom's would have been something closer to Jewish burial custom's as the ancient Greeks are descendants of the Israelites who turned up after the eruption of the Santorini volcano which erupted around 1500bce! The Macedonians who used to occupy the ancient city of Hella and abandoned it during the volcanic eruption and relocated further east to the new city of Pella which the Israelites who were simply known as Greeks by the Macedonians who pronounced it Grejci pronounced Greitsi in english meaning foreigners.... These foreigners occupied the ancient Macedonian ruins until being conquered by King Philip II and remained conquered until the fall of the Macedonian empire to the Romans and finally by the mighty ottoman empire for the rest of the 500 years! The word Greece hadn't even been invented yet, it wasn't until the Rosetta stone was found that it was believed that it was greek, which it wasn't! There are 3 alphabets used on the Rosetta stone and they are Egyptian hieroglyphics at the top, Macedonian koine at the bottom and as we have learnt from the recent decipher the middle text is ancient Macedonian Sanskrit! If you have followed the journey of the Rosetta Stone, you should know that in the early 1800's there was no one in Greece who could read anything written on the stone! It came down to British and French linguistic experts who believed that it was written in greek due to the same alphabet being used on the ancient ruins and texts found in the location where these Greeks occupied, the Macedonian koine alphabet was wrapped around the greek spoken language by the British and French linguistic experts who badly mistaken it as greek. That's why we don't see any evolution of the greek alphabet today! It just seems to have magically appeared out of nowhere! Never mind that it looks Slavic! And yet every Slavic speaking language all sounds similar, the Greeks on the other hand sound Spanish and even Jewish but use a Slavic alphabet.... There's a mismatch there that doesn't make sense! Actually all Greek history doesn't make sense! And if you were blindfolded and taken to Tunisia, you would think that you are in Greece! The architecture and the people look identical! We know from history that Tunisia is situated on top of the old Carthage, just like the Greeks who are situated on top of the old Macedonia, the bible tells us in the book of exodus that Moses was instructed by God to head for the piller of smoke by day and piller of fire by night, this piller was the island of Santorini volcano erupting! Archeology has shown us that the Israelites made it to the island of Crete, it's clear that from Crete they split between the ancient city of Hella Macedonia and the other side where the ancient city of Carthage was! It's evident that the Tunisian and greek heritage is one and the same as both originated out of Sub Saharan Ethiopia which explains the strong DNA linkage! You can clearly see it in actual pure Greeks who have dark skin and look just like anyone else in Tunisia! A caucasian greek is either Albanian or Macedonian by decent, though the Albanians are Macedonian by decent anyway.... Trying to fit the Greeks into ancient European history the way that it has been must stop! The Greeks were never an authority since they landed in Europe, they were held captive until the end of the Ottoman Empire! There was never a greek scholar! All so called greek writings were and still are in Macedonian by Macedonians! You couldn't possibly read ancient Greek writings because even though it appears to be written in greek, it's actually written in Macedonian koine and is incomprehensible to Greeks, just like the manuscript found in a greek church in Alexandria which the Greek priest commissioned a couple of Danish linguistic experts to try and decipher it, it was written in koine but made no sense in Greek until a copy of a few pages was sent to a Macedonian linguistic expert who was able to read it and provided a translation to the amazement of the Danish guys, they were told that it's not greek, it's in fact macedonian! Once you remove all mentions of Greeks from history, the only thing left is the Macedonians and suddenly history finally makes sense! It's the Greeks who have been chasing an unknown self history that have muddied the pure waters of actual history... It really begs to be rewritten, for the sake of factually correct history.

PS. Ok, reading furhter, this is far worse than I initially thought. If you visited a village 3 thousand years ago, nobody would make you a DNA analysis. Ancient civilisations are much more cultural than genetic! That's why you have the Achaemenid empire, for instance! Nations are a CULTURAL notion! The modern 'Macedonian language" (i.e. the language of the Repupblic of North Macedonia) is clearly Slavonic, with huge relations to modern Bulgarian! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_language#/media/File:Slavic_languages_tree.svg While modern Greek has a writen continuity of thousands of years. Linear B (~1500BCE) tablets are written in a form of Greek, not Slavic.... You are talking about distortion of history? You? Just a mere example for those who might take you seriously. You mentioned Macedonian Koine. You mean Greek koine, the dialect in which the Holly Book was first written in 1c CE. The specific example is the well known "Lord's prayer", first verse, English version: Our Father in heaven. Greek koine version: πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. Transilteration: páter hēmôn ho en toîs ouranoîs. Modern Greek transliteration: patéra mas, (ho) stous ouranoûs. This is almost the same as the ancient original! While the Macedonian equivalent is: Оче наш, кој си на небесата, transliteration: Oče naš, koj si na nebesata. Almost NO resamblance to the original Koine! But almost IDENTICAL to the modern Bulgarian: Отче наш, който си на небесата, transliteration: Otče naš, kojto si na nebesata. You guys should count your blessings that the world decided to allow you a Macedonian national identity.

Clearly you did not watch this entire presentation. The Jews are not Canaanite in origin. When Abraham came into the region, the scriptures describe his presence there as a 'sojourner', a stranger' in that land. Abraham traveled from Ur of the Chaldees into Canaan, the land of promise and met the various marauding tribes of Canaan already established there.

No G-d told the Jewish people to conquer the Cannanites as G-d said He is giving the Land to Israel for their homeland. Jews & Canannites are not related. But Jew & Arab are by the fact that Abraham via his concubine Hagar had Ishmael & Abraham's wife gave birth to Isaac. Both Isaac & Ishmael attended the funeral of their father Abraham.

The British and French created the official borders of the middle east states. Before that there were the various regions and territories all the way back to antiquity. At that point, Nationalism and not religion was the tool to excite the masses. Abdel Nassir of Egypt inspired the region with it. The Arab speaking population of Palestine and the Jews of Palestine surely felt that energy and were proud of their newly formed Nation after the British expelled the Turks and created the official borders.

[@maracohen5930]

The League of Nations created the modern Nation States of the MENA from the carcass of the defeated Central power Ottoman Turkish Empire. Sadly, two of the Allied Powers who had been selected to be the tutelary Administrators Responsible under Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant of the Mandatories of Syria, Palestine and Iraq. And both failed miserably because they had always sought to be Colonialist Powers in the Region, and utilized their positions to violate and abrogate whatever was not in their own national interests. The illegal “horse trading” of already delineated and mandated Land base such as the Golan for Mosul and environs was typical of such breach of law and responsibilities. When they, and specifically the British argued for changes at the LON, it was inevitably in what was in the Brit’s national interests. While they would argue for, and legally get the status of the Mandate for Palestine changed (The transjordan Memorandum), on behalf of the Arabs, they did not advocate for any of the minority groups from Ottoman Days. They had all but repudiated the 1916 Balfour Declaration when it was brought up at the San Remo Conference and the intent thereof made into International law in 1922. And while the British were arguing at the LON for 77 percent of the Mandate for Palestine to be made into “Arab Palestine”, exclusively, but they had no intent to allow local Arabs under Amin al Husayni to rule themselves…they had the Hashemites, “Real Arab” Aristocrats as clients to whom they owed debts of Empire…instead of a new Caliphate, the Hashemites got the Kingdom of Iraq (with all that oil…) and the Emirate of TransJordan….just as the Brits got Kuwait removed from the Mandate for Iraq as a set aside for a specific Arab family…but British Activities of this nature were all set n behalf of Arabs, not Kurds, nor any of the other Peoples of the Region, who predated Arab Muslims , on the Lands assigned except for Maronite and Orthodox Christians in Lebanon and Jews in Israel. The Assyrians, the Druze, none were assigned/mandated Land base by the League….no advocacy for them. Luckily, Jews had some strong Advocates at the San Remo Conference. Amir al Husayni, former Turkish Soldier, the Brit appointed Mufti of Jerusalem refused to attend. The TransJordan Memorandum still passed at the LON. But the Hashemites had Brit Advocacy…and the Mufti had refused to participate. Oh well. The missed opportunities of history.

The Babylonians did not exile entire populations, only a minor fraction of them, such as artisans and nobility, this applies to both Jews and Philistines. Most of the original populations (add Canaanites and other cultures than were neither one) remained in place and were not displaced. Same way, only a fraction "returned" generations later. Both cultures changed drastically after the Babylonian conquest and then again after Geeks and Romans conquests, and of course Muslim/Arab. But again, no large movements of people, mainly conversions and mixing. There was no mass exile after the Romans conquered Palestine, and other revolts (before and after C.E.) but significant massacres, conversions and mixing between Pagans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims and then the crusades and there were MULTIPLE religions with significant variations of Paganism, Judaism and Christianity. There were no massive movements of people, that were irrelevant compared to the number of converts, that constitute most (all) of Christians, Muslims AND Jews today. During Roman times there were more Jews OUTISDE of Palestine/Judea than in it and almost 100% of them were converts (everybody was a convert at one point or another) and not migrating Jews. Problem with bias "history" is that it likes to twist or ignore facts as convenient to their narrative, and this video is just another sad example.

Very insteresting lecture though it seemed to be a littel onesided more towards the Jews. My question is - If the Canaanites were a mix of Jews and Palestinians (those that curenty identify as Palestinians), and this has been proven with DNA results, why do the Jews claim they have alsolute rights over the land that was for hundreds of years called Palestine (according to your summary if I recall after the roman invasion). And if the people living there during the British mandate (all living peacefully at the time after the mandate was established) were a mix of Christian, Jews and Muslims, then, can it not be assumed that these people at the time of occupation were the inhabitants of the land of Palestine before the state of Israel was established. And before Palestine was officially recognised as a state - of sorts. AT the time before the take over, the people of Palestine (be they jews, christians or arabs) considered themselves Palestinians and held Palestinian passports. Could it not be assumed that these people were the inhabitants of Palestine at the time of the occupation by the Zionists. All these original occupants of the area were kicked out of Palestine when the Zionists took over their land, homes, businesses, orchards etc in 1948. How can these Zionists claim the land is theirs if the origins of people (proven through DNA) first recored as the people living there, were in fact a mix of Jews, Christians and Muslims. What gives them the right to claim this land as theirs when it fact it already belonged to the people living there despite the fact that it had not officially been declared the state of Palestine. Historically (as you said since the roman invasion) it had always been called Palestine. And other studies claim that the Jews at the time, even at the time of the occupation were only abut 2% of the population. It appears to me from your video that the people who were living there before the occupation are the owners and original occupants of the land of Palestine. How can the Zionists in all consciouce move in and evict these people from their homes, their land, their orchards, their businesses and just take over the land like a cuckoo. If I took over your home what would you do? Fight back? Resist occupation? Try to get me out of your home? I don't think this problem would even exist if the Jews that came to Palestine after the war had intermingled with the population, built their own homes, started their own business, etc without evicting the existing population. Unforutnately it is now a war of politics and money. The gas fields of the Gaza strip that the Israelies want to control (and the US, plus wanting to control the middle east) and the colateral damage is the Palestinians. This debarkle may never have happened if the Zionists had not been so greedy to want their own racist state. And why Palestine. Why not somewhere in America? Why not somewhere where there were no other existing people?

So what you're saying is the people now considered 'Palestinian" have been there since the time of the Canaanites. Through the years their blood lines mixed the invading armies of the day. The same goes for the jews. They also share that ancient Canaanite blood line along with the native blood of those from the lands the exiled jews inhabited during the diaspora. In the end, we're talking cousins here. This is absolutely amazing. Let the world understand so we can finally put all this violence behind us.

With due respect, I will never take an Israeli university funded research on middle East as anywhere near truth. 1.Firstly, history is always approximate and are mostly interpretations from raw and incomplete data. And Israel has obvious motivations for interpreting history in a certain way. 2. I won't take a history lesson form scholar who considers biblical mythology as basis of their framework, not questioning it's historicity, and basically not believing it being mostly fiction, and then interpreting history by comparing it with biblical mythology. 3. Historians will be doing a great disservice to history if they take religious texts written by god-fearing priests as a main source for recreating history. Did the red Sea split apart to give way for Moses? Or did moses' stick turn into snake and killed other snakes? Did Jacob wrestle with god? Did Solomon talk with animals? But if historians consider consider other parts of Bible as a source, why are there no thesis written about stick turning into snake? I am not saying that there is no history in religious texts, only I am saying is that they aren't a reliable source at all. It is like analogous to bringing "creationism" to " theory of evolution. " History may not be a complete and meaningful story, but it shouldn't be a fictional one.

I was going to mentioned the links between the Canaanites and the Israelites and the fact that the so called Israelis were well before the time of Mose's and the biblical stories of the Israelites that they were a breakaway group of Canaanites who left Canaan to start a new way of religious belief.. The rest is history. But you explain it far better than I. Great podcast.

[@mujjuman]

The important part that I got out of this video is that modern Palestinians have 50% Canaanite DNA as do modern Israelis. Neither should have 100% claim to the land, therefore, the land needs to be shared between them whether it's a secular 1 state solution or 2 state solution. However, one has to wonder, who really does have more claim to the land: the people with 50% native DNA who left the land 1800-1900 years before they returned, or the people with 50% native DNA who never actually left?

[@Benjamin-vm8di]

Except you have Jews that never left the land, so if your logic is giving it to the people who never left the Jews get it. As for the 2 state solution, that was offered to the Palestinians about 7 times since the 1930s, and they refused each time. A 1 state solution is not possible at all. So, in all honesty, how are the Jews to have peace with the Palestinians? When at every turn the Palestinians refuse peace? They turned down every logical and realistic attempt at offering them land, and the Palestinian organisations such as Hamas outright call for the destruction of the Jews.

[@liviuconstantin9960]

Jews didn't "left". They were forced out with the help of Roman Army. Those who escaped and remained were later subjugated by the Islamic Army.

[@Tespri]

What a low IQ claim. There is no example of Canaatite DNA. PAlestinians are pure arabs. Muslims don't convert people to Islam, they kill natives and replace them. "it's a secular 1 state solution or 2 state solution" Israel is secular state. Palestinians are pure monsters

[@annoyingboringuseless]

Whom you call Palestinians today are spillover Arabs from West Jordan, Syria. There has never been any group/race which has direct lineage from any historical ascendants known as Palestinians. On the flip side Jews are and always will be the natural and original inhabitants of the land of Judea. Muslims have carved out tens of Islamic nation states from Christian and Hindu lands via war and conquests. Jews have but one tiny homeland and never subjugated others to steal land away from them. They were driven away by the intruders, mostly Muslims. If a group of thugs drive you away from your home and occupy the property as new owners, they do not become legal owners. Why won't your kids come and reclaim what is rightfully theirs? Where will they reside if not their homeland? There are no such race or people called Palestinians with any direct lineage to the ascendents that lived in those times, because there were none even then. The region (not the people) was on and off described as Palestine. The Palestinian identity is purely based on political lines drawn out by the British and have no historical race or descendant-based claims, unlike the 12 tribes of the Jewish people who originated from the lands of Judea, Samaria, Galilee and adjoining areas, which, like the Kashmiri pundits are the original inhabitants of the land from time immemorial.

Research the Battle of Djahy. It was a land battle fought in modern day Lebanon (Canaan). It was a preemptive strike by the Egyptians, not an invasion by the "Sea Peoples."

I found it shocking that the same place Goliath comes from, the same place had troops that fought for King David and when David's son rebelled, they helped David, so if these are Philistines then it means King David was allies with the Philistines or they at least had 'mad respect' for him as a leader. You should talk about that topic and relationship. Also, about the Crete origin. You should have showed pottery from Crete, but why Crete. Think of it this way: The people living in what are called Philistines traded with Crete, then the volcano destroyed much of their civilization so a group of them immigrated to blend with the Philistines, but the Pleshette were already there, and they came there via a contract made with an Egyptian pharaoh who ultimately realized it better to put them on the edge, to act as a buffer state. So yes, you can see Minoan and Mycenaean but realize when you say 'Greek' you are really speaking of two separate groups and cultures blended in layers together, and later then blending into what we call Pleshette resulting in another layered blended society, like a Palimpsest.

The names Palestininia (an ancient Roman-given name for the Holy Land) and Philistines do sound alike, however, my own research into it showed that what we today call Palestinians are actually descended from Jordanian nomads who camped in the Holy Land which after the Crusades became a trading route between Jordan, Egypt, and Syria. Jordanian traders, therefore, merely camped within the ancient borders of Israel, but seldom settled there because the land during that time was virtually a desert wasteland. Closer to the present time during the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the mostly Jordanian nomads and traders did begin to settle within ancient Israel and by the time the dream of "Zion" had began to foment within Jewish hearts and minds around the same time and leading up to the outbreak of World War II, there had grown quite a sizable population of those Jordanians (later called "Palestinians") within what was ancient Israel. The British Balfour declaration some decades earlier, however, had already declared that the Holy Land should finally be returned to the Jews. On May 14th, 1948, it was officially returned to the Jews and the so-called Palestinians revolted.

Jewish refugees arriving in British Palestine were often stateless because their citizenship had been revoked by Germany. The British issued them with British Palestine passports, and that is why they were called Palestinians. These passports were travel documents and did not denote citizenship. After the British terminated their mandate these documents became worthless. Nakba refugee Arabs holding these British Palestine passports cannot use them to demand Israeli citizenship, but since they were issued by Britain, a few Arabs have managed to get British citizenship. When Israel declared independence, a brief vote was held by the leaders to decide on the name of the new state. The names Israel and Palestine were proposed, but they unanimously chose the name Israel. Theoretically they could have chosen the name Palestine for the Jewish state. Yasser Arafat created the Palestinian nation with his PLO in the 1960s. The PLO did not claim any land in Gaza or West Bank, but claimed all of Israel as theirs.
