OT Trump's Tariffs

The Palestinians want a free country, which you say didn't exist, yet the Brits had a Police Force after WW2 named the Palestine Police. Israel also wants a free country which previously didn't exist.

If we go back in time, that whole area was lived in by the Semitic twelve tribes of Abraham of which the Jews were one tribe and the peoples who were later to be called Palestinian were another tribe. All of the tribes were wanderers.

The Philistines who the Muslims in Gaza are mainly descended from were the original inhabitants of Gaza and not the Israelites.

Have to correct you there Bill. Gaza is the land of Canaan a Semitic speaking people from 2nd Cent BC. Archeology, (synagogues) scripture (Samson story etc) and historical record - which the Romans did well say so. Philistines were the "sea people" - Greeks who were the original invaders of Isreal and settled in various cities in existence today like Ashkelon/Ashdod etc . The name Palestine/Palestina was used by the Emporer Hadrian as a name for Isreal to piiss the Jews off as they wouldn't bend the knee to the pagan gods. Came from the word "Philistines".

No such place as the West Bank either. Its Judea and Sumaria.

Think you?ll find DNA studies point to the Palestinian people having roots in the Levant region including Palestine going back a few thousand years. Now if we did the same for the current bunch of occupiers they?ll be Europeans, Russians, etc. Just because some men decided to carve up a piece of land that was not theirs in the first place doesn?t give it legitimacy.

As for Judea and Samaria? You?re correct. There is no such place as the West Bank. The whole region is called Palestine. Just like it was over a hundred years ago before some artificial state was forced into the region. Europeans messed up and the Palestinians paid.
