They will try to memoryhole #Philistines from #history.
They will fail.
Coming attractions:

Yes, moron, comprehend more, and argue less.
If #Canaanites were native, as you agree, and if #Philistines "arrived" from #Greece and "conconquered Canaanites," and then later mixed with them to acquire Canaanite genes, as you also agree, does that make them NATIVES to the land?
I've seen many silly arguments on Arab-Israeli conflict, but this is the first time I've heard #genealogy being used a serious argument based on a YouTube video by #TheSarcasticSkeptic.
What morons!

>> Genetic studies have also shown a genetic relationship between #Palestinians and #Jews.
This is from the #Wikipedia page you cited.
This goes to my point that genealogy is not a factor in this dispute.
Also, there are archeological remains, such as the #WesternWall, also known as #WailingWall ➡️ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Western-Wall
These physical, human artifacts actually EXIST.
Who built them? #Philistines or Jews?
When were they built?
The Western Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem, is a place of prayer and pilgrimage sacred to the Jewish people. It is the only remains of the retaining wall surrounding the Temple Mount, the site of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem.

Also, from the same article, "The Canaanite Phoenicians on the Syrian coast re-established their trading communities after the #Philistine and Aramaean invasions."
So, #Philistines were #Aegean, while #Canaanite were #Phoenicians.
Regardless of genealogy, they were not natives, but invaders.
#FirstTemple destroyed by #Babylonians was a human artifact, not a religious reference.
Philistine, one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century BCE, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites. According to biblical tradition, the Philistines came from Caphtor (possibly Crete, although there is no archaeological evidence supporting this claim).

>> Genetics proves that Palestinians do not have Greek genes, but Canaanite genes.
Even without a source, I can see where what you are saying does not actually contradict what the book says.
It never said anything about the genealogy. Only the geography.
That #Philistines came from the #Greek island of #Crete says nothing about their genes.
Once settled in the portion of #Judea then knows as #Canaan, they became #Canaanite, am I right?

I cited a proper #history book from where I cited information about #Judea, #Canaan, and #Philistines in a parallel thread, and I post it again here. It is impossible for me to engage with you without you presenting a credible corroborating source. Thanks 🙂
