Is this more of that "honest dialogue" you were speaking of? Why can't you just respond respectfully to posts?
I was respectful of you.... until you proved who you actually are. You are not honest or respectful yourself. You deserve so much worse than you get here, but myself (and Im assuming others) realize how pointless it would be to stoop to your level.

Can anyone tell us what the "Palestinans" were called before they were known as Palestinians? If they existed, they would have had a name. Right?
Thats what we have been repeatedly asking you pathetic fool, and instead of answering our question, you ignored it to post garbage..... yet here you are, attempting to re-phrase the very same question you dodged as some sort of vindicating query lol

Anyone can read my posts here or anywhere else on the board and see that you're not telling the truth about me. The truth is that you can't make any kind of argument based on fact or reason, so you just call me names. That can be proved by reading your posts.

If I am being dishonest, prove it. Don't just call me names. Show us you have a brain and put together an argument for once.

It's not my job to make your argument for you.

If the Palestinians are as ancient a people as you say, there must be proof. Post it.

Everyone here knows what a fraud you are. Posting more of your same, lame antics only highlights your deficiencies of character and intellect.

Rona Sela on exposing hidden Palestinian history
A researcher of visual history, Sela uncovers records of Palestinian existence and culture hidden in Israeli archives.

Rona Sela, a researcher of visual history and a lecturer at Tel Aviv University, first began studying the history and culture of Zionist and Israeli photography more than 20 years ago.

Her goal was to uncover photographs that preceded the establishment of the state of Israel. In her research, she found visual archives of propagandist Zionist photography that shaped a specific and deliberate history of Israel.
Through her work, she realised that Palestinian history was intentionally missing from the formal narrative of Israel. She began researching and collecting Palestinian imagery to outline Palestine's history and culture.

Sela discovered that many records were looted by the Israeli army and hidden in Israeli archives. She published multiple books of Palestinian photographs in an effort to make all of her findings public.

In the past, activists and researchers have asserted that Israel purposely hides vital records in order to avoid exposing Israeli war crimes, including wide-scale massacres of Palestinians, forced expulsions and home demolitions.

Sela's research uncovered a different kind of hidden history, one that tells of Palestinian existence long before the creation of Israel. Her new documentary Looted and Hidden: Palestinian Archives in Israel includes never-before-seen visual images of Palestinian history that the Israeli army looted from archives in Beirut.

Al Jazeera spoke to Sela about the motivations behind her research and her continued aim to make the hidden Palestinian archives available to the public.

Explain who Golaith is. Explain who the Philistines were. Explain to us how Encyclopedia Britannica got it wrong.........
"Philistine, one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century BCE, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites. According to biblical tradition (Deuteronomy 2:23; Jeremiah 47:4), the Philistines came from Caphtor (possibly Crete, although there is no archaeological evidence of a Philistine occupation of the island). The first records of the Philistines are inscriptions and reliefs in the mortuary temple of Ramses III at Madinat Habu, where they appear under the name prst, as one of the Sea Peoples that invaded Egypt about 1190 BCE after ravaging Anatolia, Cyprus, and Syria. After being repulsed by the Egyptians, they settled—possibly with Egypt’s permission—on the coastal plain of Palestine from Joppa (modern Tel Aviv–Yafo) southward to Gaza. The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks."

Goliath was one of the Palestinian "who's" as has been previously pointed out to you in this very thread...... isnt he Dumbdarian?
Goliath was a Philistine. The Philistines were descended from Noah's son Ham. According to you, the "Palestinians" are descended from Shem (that's where the term Semite comes from).

Want to rethink that?

Why would Palestinian history be part of the formal narrative of Israel?

And if this history exists, where is it?

De-colonising the mind - a former Zionist fighter's journey
Tikva Honig-Parnass joined the Palmach militia as it ethnically cleansed Palestinians and now works to expose the crime.

"Villages around me were wiped out. Qalunya, just a few kilometres west of Jerusalem, was on our right on the road from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. One day it was wiped out," she says and is silent for several moments.

Qalunya was one of more than 500 Palestinian towns and villages that was ethnically cleansed by Zionist militia during 1948-49. It was home to about 1,000 people.

"Where did they go to? How did they go? We never asked the questions," she says.

When asked if anything she witnessed shocked her, she answers: "Nothing. Nothing! That's the whole thing - nothing shocked us."

Her indoctrination to the aims and self-righteousness of the Zionist enterprise was evident from an early age. Her Zionist parents were as secular as they come, she says, and she and her two siblings were enrolled in a secular Zionist school - secular except that "we learned the Bible as an historical document, six days a week", says Tikva. (Her name means The Hope and is the national anthem of Israel)

You might want to rethink your entire time spent on here.......
