"Invented" Palestinian People and "House of Meat, eh...? how funny!!"

Sara...you are awesome! Boy do you know your history and your Hebrew! These guys with an Arab education are typical. I've heard their silly stories for many years, all of which have been debunked over and over again and yet they continue. It's like talking to rocks. Somehow over 5,000 years of Jewish history proven even by archeology, means nothing to them.

For example, if all the people throughout the history of the Middle East were really Arabs, I guess the Turks and the Eqyptians never existed, huh? I guess the Arabs built the pyramids? The original "Palestinians" were Jews as that was the Roman name that replaced Israel, Judah and Samaria. Yikes! All one has to do is read "Genesis." The name Palestine in its many forms has been batted around, put out of commisson, and recommissioned enough times that in all the hand-changing of what was once Israel, Judah and Samaria, a new race of people seemed to be created. You are right. Most of the Arabs arrived in the area during Ottoman Turkish rule for work.

When the British took over after WWI they could not stop all the pograms against the native Jewish Sabras by the Arabs who were desperately trying to displace them, so they left. Then the Jews had to fend for themselves. As the Arabs kicked them out of one country after another there was no where else to go except back home...Israel, Judah and Samaria...only the real estate was once again being called Palestine. You are a great historian! In the end YHWH calls the shots. He sent Abraham from Ur to establish his kingdom in the west between the Jordan River and the sea, and so it shall be! No matter what the land is called it belongs to Him and he knows his children!

I am impressed with your knowledge and thank you so very much for sharing it with us! You made my day!
