Is there really such a place and are there really a race known as the Palestinians?
Up to 1948 the Arab peoples who lived in the Holy Lands or what we call today modern Israel, would have described themselves as Egyptians or desert Arabs, Bedouin. But kindly to the British rulers from the fall of the Turkish Otteman Empire in 1919 to 1948 and their occupation of the region, they became jealous of the Jews and encouraged the Arabs to identify themselves with the ancient Philistines. Thus they encouraged division and are continuing to do that to this day with the international idea, that the only solution will be a two state one.
When we come to read the bible, if we believe it? We will very soon discover that God has other ideas about the land and His promises to His people Israel. Genesis 24:7, Romans chapters 9-11.
The word Israel is mentioned 1854 times in the whole bible, 1728 times in the Tanakh/Old Testament and 128 time in the New Testament. I was not able to find any references to Palestine, funny that?
