Many people are confused the name Philistine and the name Palestinian. Philistine is a sea people who settled in the southwest coast in the land of Canaan and the Palestinian mean anyone that are from the land of Canaan, including Israel, Judea, Philistine, Samaria, or Galilee. Palestinian comes from the land of Canaan known as Palestine (modern day Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank.) Palestinians have very strong European and Middle Eastern influences: 1. Paleolithic and Neolithic periods (1000000 - 5000 BCE) 2. Chalcolithic period (4500 - 3000 BCE) and Bronze Age (3000 - 1200 BCE) 3. Iron Age (1200 - 330 BCE) 4. Persian rule (538 BCE) 5. Hellenistic rule (333 BCE) 6. Roman rule (63 BCE) 7. Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) rule (330-640 CE) 8. Arab Caliphate rule (638 - 1099 CE) 9. Umayyad rule (661 - 750 CE) 10. Abbasid rule (750 - 969 CE) 11. Fatimid rule (969 - 1099 CE) 13. Crusader rule (1099 - 1187 CE) 14. Mamluk rule (1270 - 1516 CE) 15. Ottoman rule (1516 - 1917 CE) 16. British Mandate (1920–1948) 17. Zionist rule (1948 - Present) Palestinians are considered Arabs today, but genetically they are a mix of people. Palestinian considered Arabs, because they are Arabized and live under the Arab league. However, many Palestinians trace their ancestry back to the time of the Canaanites, Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaim, Amorites, Girgashites, Jebusites, Judean, Israelites, Samaritans or Samarians, Philistine, and thereby mixed with the many conquerers who settled and assimilated into the population. Palestinian language is Levantine Arabic, although long ago Palestinians spoke Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek. Palestinian religions are Sunni Islam, Druze, Baha'i, Christianity (Orthodox, Catholicism, Protestantism,) and Judaism (Samaritanism and Orthodox Jew). Long ago, Palestinians were Jews and some of them were pagan before the Christ was born. Then everybody converted to Christianity and Islam. I wish that the Arabs extend the hand of peace by accepting the Israeli borders that it had when it was newly created in 1948. From Israel’s end, I wish it hand over all lands that it occupied in 1967. From american end, I wish it to aid Palestine as much as it aids Israel economically and politically and I wish that America stop all military aid to Israel on the slightest inclination of peace from either sides. The Christians, Jews and the Muslims – all have the right on Jerusalem. I wish Jerusalem to be a multi – religious capital of the world. This article is a discussion between a pro Israeli and a pro Palestinian and thus, has both sides of the story.
