1, some people these days, try to link #palestine name to ancient philistines, as if same tribe but even that would not help the claim.
those who live in germany are germans and same type of name if live in palestine part of ottoman. just name of land, not the same family.
2. Even if we assume just for a moment: plistim is plistim still -not the canaan who israel expelled from west bank in 1000 B. C. named in the record part: genesis 10:4-17.
misraim was brother knan. from knan jebusites but plistim from misraim egypt. not same family. so even if say trick: "same name" still not the dwellers. just a trick.
israel conquered "canan the jebus' but plistim is different family. the jew war was when wars were recognized as conquering. like muslim conquest was not condemned at the time. until now.
3. also archeology challenged. archeology found signs of war in other ancient places but not in the time of joshua! the stories were just action fiction. ancient people knew those parts were fiction.
the writers knew it was fiction and wrote clues: authors added 'not with your sword' in book joshua 24. it seems a contradiction but it really helped label the war stories as fable. even the "war" of amorite

they lived side by side: book judges. not a self contradiction it is the "fiction label" for the fable war parts.
but which family? i say arabs are ismael. not pilistim and not the knan from whom israel in story conquered.
muslim celebrate "ed el adha" agree with me they are from ismeal. but ismeal not same family as knan! 3 separate tribes.
we see the arab claim, of land, is many steps away. just twisted and warped as a costume for jew hatred to cause hating jews wrongly and unreasonably. we see: far from any sensible claim. just 'names sound similar' is nonsense so which family?

Here's the thing, Abraham was in the land of Israel 4,000 years ago. 2,000 BC, a thousand years before the Philistines were there. But if you see where the original Palestinians were, they were not actually in Israel they were a Part of where Jordan is. Plus when you break down the term Palestinian, it means the wandering people. That means that they really had no spot as that tribe were Nomads. Palestine and Philistine are not the same even though they could be described as descendants in a way. If you look at the lineage of Ismael he was the bastard son of Abraham not the prophecy that God spoke about between Abraham and the holy covenant between him and his wife. Plus, if God is perfect, "Allah" then how did he send down Jesus who was described to be perfect even in the koran, by the angel Gabriel, as a direct messenger of Allah, then Allah said that it was a mistake because he said that Jesus was wrong by claiming he was the Son of God, so how can someone be perfect in the eyes of God/Allah and then blaspheme? you can't occupy those two spaces and be perfect in the eyes of God. Secondly, Muhammad claims to be the descendant of Ismael, or his followers claim but there is zero way to prove that through the Old testament, as that would be the only way it could be. What other historical documents that go back 4,000 years in the Islamic religion that could trace that? Plus, since Islam was a religion in 652AD that's 2600 years after Ismael's life. There are many things that you could point out in the Koran, Allah's word from Gabriel, and the Hadiths which are the life and teachings of Muhammad, that are directly reinforced by Allah to say that Muhammad's words are should be taken the same way as Allah. If you take the word, MU SLIM, you see that the term Muhammad and Islam are fused together. you must be a follower of both, meaning the Hadiths and the Koran. There are a lot of things in the Hadiths that most people don't see that undermine the Koran and the opposite are also true, and there's absolutely no other measures to fact check either one otherwise.
Palestinians are Arab colonisers. Most natives after muslim conquests have seen their populations diminish to the point of nothing or completely disappear.
