Why do some trolls keep saying that Palestine does not exist though it was mentioned in the Bible?

Question

And Phelisstines were always the number one enemies of the Habirus and G-d promised Abraham to give him their land(Exodus) even before the Roman

Answer 1

You've confused Philistines with Palestinians.  Yes, there was a country of Palestine for many years, but never a Palestinian PEOPLE until the 20th century.

.

Answer 2

Because some people want Palestine erased from the worlds memory, thus spread false propaganda. Peace!

Answer 3

Not in the Bible, Qur'an..Not now, not then..not ever..I would report the question for being 'terminally clueless'..however, some very bright answers with great insight, knowledge, and Real History have been submitted, so maybe..The Ignorant Ones..will get a Clue.

Answer 4

They want to divert attention from the fact that they stole Palestinian land. They think we should dispute if Palestine existed or not, not the fact that they are outsiders who stole land from the native Palestinians and are living there even though they are highly unwanted in Palestine. The truth is, jews like to plant themselves in places they are hated to gain sympathy.

Answer 5

Philistines lived in what is now Gaza and a small part of the Sinai in Egypt.  They did not live anywhere else.  They were Greek invaders, not Arabs.  Philistine means Invader.

The entire area was only called Palestine when the Romans named it that to humiliate the Jews after the Jews rebelled against Rome.

So If Brazil conquers Haiti and to humiliate the Haitians, renames it France, then kicks out all the Haitians and resettles it with Aborigines who now call themselves French, does that make aborigines French?  Makes no sense does it?

Answer 6

If you say it's in there you should give a reference.  Here's a link where you can do a bible word search.

It ain't in there Troll.

Answer 7

Trolls write that "palestine" never existed because it never did.  It is the truth.  It was never a country - period.  The fact that Muslims choose to name themselves after Greek invaders is beyond me.  However, it may be collective consciousness, which indicates how they truly feel about themselves.  That would explain why they could never simply make a peaceful home for themselves.

Many of us are not religious and we frankly don't care what it says in the bible.  What we do care about is the historical fact that Jewish people existed on this land.  It has nothing to do with the bible.

Answer 8

Clearly they were saying Palestine doesn't exist because the want people to believe they were legally build a country on obviously other people's land! Israel was created in what years?1948? What country it was before the Jews make a settlement there?The answer, it is called Palestine. Don't come up with old ridicilous fact, i don't give a d*mn about it.

Answer 9

It is also mentioned any number of times in Herodotus ( circa 500 B.C); he knew the region intimately and he makes no references to hebrews,jews,any of that. Apparently the hebrew bible is utter fiction. The region have been known as Palestine since well before any "King Solomon" - of whom no historian of the era makes any mention.

Answer 10

Since the asker wants to deal with history, here is some history, which should solve his confusion.

In the 2nd century, the last attempt of the Jews to achieve independence from the Roman Empire ended with the well-known event of Masada, which is historically documented and universally recognized as the fact that determined the Jewish Diaspora in a definitive way.  

The land where these things happened was until then the province known as Judea, and there is no mention of any place called "Palestine" before that time.  

The Roman emperor Hadrian was utterly upset with the Jewish Nation and wanted to erase the name of Israel and Judah from the face of the Earth, so that there would be no memory of the country that belonged to that rebel people.  He decided to replace the denomination of that Roman province and resorted to ancient history in order to find a name that might appear appropriate, and found that an extinct people that was unknown in Roman times, called "Philistines," was once dwelling in that area and were enemies of the Israelites.  

Therefore, according to Latin spelling, he invented the new name: "Palestina," a name that would be also hateful for the Jews as it reminded them their old foes.  He did so with the explicit purpose of effacing any trace of Jewish history.  Ancient Romans, as well as modern Palestinians, have fulfilled the Hebrew Scriptures Prophecy that declares: "They lay crafty plans against Your People...  they say: come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more'." (Psalm 83:3-4).  

They failed, as Israel is still alive.  Any honest person would recognize that there is no mention of the name Palestine in history before the Romans renamed the province of Judea, that such name does not occur in any ancient document, is not written in the Bible, neither in the Hebrew Scriptures nor in the Christian Testament, not even in Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian, Ptolemaic, Seleucian or other Greek sources, and that not any "Palestinian" people has ever been mentioned, not even by the Romans that invented the term.  If "Palestinians" allegedly are the historic inhabitants of the Holy Land, why did they not fight for independence from Roman occupation as Jews did?

How is it possible that not a single Palestinian leader heading for a revolt against the Roman invaders is mentioned in any historic record?

Why there is not any Palestinian rebel group mentioned, as for example the Jewish Zealots? Why every historic document mentions the Jews as the native inhabitants, and the Greeks, Romans and others as foreigners dwelling in Judea, but not any Palestinian people, neither as native nor as foreigner? What is more, there is no reference to any Palestinian people in the Quran, although Muslims claim that their prophet was once in Jerusalem (an event that is not mentioned in the Quran either).  

It appears evident that he did not meet any Palestinian in his whole life, nor his successors did either.  Caliph Salahuddin al-Ayyub (Saladin), knew the Jews and kindly invited them to settle in Jerusalem, that he recognized as their Homeland, but he did not know any Palestinian...  To claim that Palestinians are the original people of Eretz Yisrael is not only against secular history but also against Islamic history!

There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians.  Palestinians are Arabs.  The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name, but adopted and adapted from the Latin "Palestine." How can an Arab people have a western name instead of one in their own language?   Because the use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab group is only a modern political creation without any historic or ethnic grounds, and did not indicate any people before 1967.  

An Arab writer and journalist declared: indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc.  

Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands.  Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass.  But that's too much for the Arabs.  They want it all.  And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today.  

No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.

Answer 11

How well do you speak Hebrew, as you must know, the bible was written in Hebrew, these people were called  ÃƒÂ—¤×œ×™×©×ª×™×    Plishtim, their name in Hebrew translates to invaders, they originated in Greece, they were sea dwellers.

As long as you are at it go find out what part of Israel they lived in, it's much smaller than the land the Arabs of the Gaza and the west bank are living in today.

the UN General Assembly voted on the division of British Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish state.It took place on November 29, 1947.

The UN Partition Plan was approved with 33 countries voting in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions. Six months later, on May 14, 1948, the Jewish state was founded. Immediately afterward, the surrounding Arab nations, which rejected the plan, attacked Israel in what became known as the War of Independence.

Answer 12

Israel is in the Bible.  Palestine was a Roman invention, and the Philistines of yore are not related to the Arabs.

G-d did promise Israel to Abraham and his descendents through Isaac--the Jewish nation.

Answer 13

the word palestine was invented by the romans long after the bible was written. that's why we say it's not mentioned in the bible. because it's not.

phillistene is the not the same.
