From one of my SS lessons:
SO, who are “THESE PEOPLE”? The Palestinians? Listen closely!
Under Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD the name Israel was changed to Palestine as an insult to the Jews.
The base word comes from Philistia, an area where the Philistines lived. This is where Goliath lived—enemies of Israel.
It was a made up name imposed on Israel in order to wipe out its name from history.
The name of Jerusalem was also changed so that no one would ever remember Jerusalem.
Isaiah 56:5 “I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever.”
Now the Philistines have been extinct for 2500 years!!! They have NOT walked the face of this earth for 2500 years!!
In Isaiah 14:31 God says “Melt away all you Philistines” and they did!!
Go back to the Ottoman Empire—
no boundaries—no nation states—
so ALL people that lived in the Holy Land area were called PALESTINIANS—including JEWS!!
So, Jews and Arabs were called Palestinians.
1964—Enter YASSER ARAFAT:
born in Egypt, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood that is/was rioting in Egypt today to gain control of the government;
Founded a terrorist group called the Palestinian Liberation Organziation—PLO.
He created the MYTH that the Palestinian People were Arabs descended from the Philistines!!! And had a right to the land occupied by Israel.
Now the Philistines were not Arabs but from an area of Greece that sailed to the coast of Canaan and settled there. They have been extinct for 2500 years!!!!
There is NO DISTINCT Arab group knows as Palestinians!!! Yet the world has bought this LIE hook, line, and sinker.
This was a made up gimmick to wrestle the land from Israel.
Arafat convinced the world media that the Jews have stolen the land of the Palestinians; that the Jews “OCCUPY” Palestinian Land.
The charter of the PLO calls for the end of Israel and calls Zionism “Racism”.
Iran also calls for the end of Israel.
Maps in Arab textbooks do not have Israel on them—only Palestine. Again you see an effort to remove the name of Israel from the face of the earth. The Apple OS does NOT list Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, nor does it list Jerusalem as being a part of any country.
The “Liberation of Palestine” really means the ERADICATION OF ISRAEL!!
There is a propaganda war against Israel buys this garbage because they do not know history and have chosen to believe this lie.
Jesus warns us over and over—DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Yet the world has been deceived the world media and the UN.
The UN passes more resolutions AGAINST Israel than all other nations combined!!! And this has been their position since the inception of Israel in 1948.
