What's in a name? What were Native Americans called before it was America? Were they the same people?RE: Palestine Today
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Oh P F Tinmore, you are such a phil·is·tine.
(COMMENT)A rose by any other name...Palestine was the name Europeans gave to the region, ignoramus. Arabs and Muslims until the 20the century did not acknowledge the existence of a Balestine or Falastine.Actually it is Filistine, but what do you know?
You might keep whining "Say it ain't so" but it still IS.
The title of this thread is Balestine Today.
This is a question of recognition. Remember to be careful what you call a "rose.""
Most Respectfully,

The natives called it Eretz Israel and Canaan, foreigners called it Palestine...which ironically means "land of foreigners" in the native language.
Is there any other meaning in the native language?
I think "Pelishtim" also means "invaders". They were a warlike, seafaring ppl from Greece and they weren't Semitic.
