Do the antisemites that invaded the pro-palestinian movement know the origin of the word Palestine is from the Hebrew root פ.ל.ש, the root for the word invaders? Do they know it's based on Philistia, the name given to the region that's based after the Philistines? Do they know we don't actually know the actual name the Philistines called themselves, and that we called them that as an insult, because it's from the same root as invaders?

Like do you realise all this time the name of this land was "invaded" while we weren't here? When you try to claim Jews have no connection to the Levant do you realise what you're claiming? This is driving me insane.

(this is NOT saying palestinians aren't natives and don't deserve a country of their own, and I will block anyone who reblogs this trying to claim that)

#this is purely about the irony of outsiders who know nothing about our culture and history trying to tell us we don't belong here #“no peace on stolen land” while the land is literally called “invaded”?#like palestinians rejected the name palestine at the beginning y'know #* looking at the meaning of the name being invaders * i wonder why they did that #again Palestinians aren't the invaders. the Philistines were. way way back.#Palestinians only have ghe misfortune of carrying that meaning in their name #morgan medaber #i/p #israel palestine conflict #israel #palestine
