Thank you very much for this accurate historical and biblical depiction of our homeland. People often forget what the Romans did… Even though their Empire was quite great.
Hopefully more people will read this instead of false narratives on social media…
Would you write an article regarding the Sykes Picot accords? Or even a bit before? That would be very interesting
I’ll try to find time for that and put together a few more historical posts. Right now I’m in the process of moving some of the more important content from X to Substack, along with publishing new pieces. Once things settle down a bit, I’ll take a look at what else is worth covering.
So the word Palestine was derived from the word philistine, and so the Aegean people who landed on that southern bit of coast could not, as the britannica site claims, have landed in Palestine. They weren’t there for the name philistine to have been known… neither were the Romans.
Britannica… such philistines…Oh.. I’m so dizzy. Too much thinking…
This is all true. I wonder, do we need to justify our existence? Do we need to explain our history? How about just “Hineni?” And then maybe we must starting to speak the language of the Middle East. Power is everything. Reason and humanity are meaningless.
We can’t stay silent — because if someone is at a crossroads and looking to educate themselves on the issue, I’d rather they come across my essay than an antisemitic version of events.
This comes at the right time as I just made the mistake of engaging with a Muslim on another substack, who claimed that the Israelites "genocided" the Canaanites and DNA evidence shows that the "Palestinians" descend from the Canaanites! He said all this in violently abusive language. I replied that the Gazans share surnames with Jordanians and Egyptians. But where does this supposed DNA theory come from?

Thank you Michael. Very good article.
Lol…

This DNA theory comes from the recesses of a deluded mind that desperately clings to a false narrative invented by UN thugs.
