Our sincere thanks to a Marine who is brave in 2 ways: physically and
morally. For the record's sake, I was unable to establish that the Palestinians
are actually descendants of the original Philistines.
It is true, however, that the Arabic word for Palestinian is
Filistin.
The thing is, the original Philistines were apparently an Indo-European
people (related to Europeans), while the people who cheekily apply the
monicker "Palestinian" to themselves are Arabs (Semitic people, unrelated) of
different areas most of whom are unwelcome in their own homelands due to
their obstreperous behavior. At any rate, what our Marine friend says about
them is true: They came from different areas of the Arab world and are not a
homogeneous people, and it was the Jews who lived in Palestine first, so these
people are interlopers and liars and not Palestinians in the true
sense.

A MARINE REVEALS TRUTH ABOUT PALESTINE
Dear Don,
As a Boy Scout, with the rank of Life Scout, as a retired Marine, two decades of active duty, retiring due to gulf war syndrome and the multiple sclerosis which I have from it, retiring as a Gunnery Sergeant, having spent most of my adult life patroling around the middle east as a professional "peacekeeper", I have to ask why so many speak such foolishness about "The Palestinians".

In 1948, a small majority of The
Palestinians, Jewish, Zionist, seeking their homeland, announced their
re-establishment of Israel, after attempting for two solid years to get proper
recognition through normal procedures.
