This is called making up history.
Philistina were Greek people who lived in Gaza until King David defeated them. Then they migrated toward Egypt.
There was no Palestine for two thousand years after that until 136 CE.
It was called Syria Palestine.
So this video is nonsense.

Thank you for your comment and for sparking a conversation around the historical narrative presented in our video, "History of Palestine." Your points touch on aspects of ancient history that are often subjects of scholarly debate and interpretation, and it's worth delving into these topics to clarify the narrative context.
On 'the Philistines were Greek people who lived in Gaza until King David defeated them. Then they migrated toward Egypt': Historical and archaeological evidence suggests that the Philistines were part of the Sea Peoples, who, around 1175 BCE, migrated from the Aegean region to the coastal areas of Canaan, including what is now known as the Gaza Strip. The idea that they were "Greek people" simplifies a more complex migration story of various groups. After their encounters with the Israelites, including conflicts with King David, there is no substantial evidence to indicate a mass migration of Philistines toward Egypt. Instead, they continued to inhabit the coastal regions of Canaan, gradually integrating into the broader cultural and societal environment of the area. This process of assimilation and cultural interchange contributed to the rich history of identities in the region.
On 'There was no Palestine for two thousand years after that until 136 CE. It was called Syria Palestine.': The use of the term "Palestine" to describe the region has a long history that predates its Roman designation as "Syria Palaestina" in 135 CE, following the Bar Kokhba revolt. Ancient texts, including writings by Herodotus in the 5th century BCE, refer to a geographic area called "Palestina." The Roman renaming of Judea to "Syria Palaestina" was indeed a measure against Jewish nationalism, aiming to dilute the identity of the region in the aftermath of the revolt. However, the term "Palestine" itself had been in use in various forms for centuries before this act.
The narrative we've presented seeks to explore the historical and cultural developments in the region of Palestine from multiple angles, acknowledging the diverse peoples, cultures, and political forces that have shaped its history. The story of Palestine is one of successive layers of civilizations, cultures, and influences, each contributing to the historical legacy of the land.
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify these points and encourage ongoing dialogue and exploration of the rich and complex history of this region. Our aim is to contribute to a greater understanding of the past, recognizing the diverse perspectives that inform our knowledge of history. Thank you again for engaging with our content.

@HorizonsOfHistory-uo2lq Ancient Palestina did not refer to the Levant region or its people, certainly not by the indigenous Israelis and other tribes with their own identity.
Not even today do Jordanians, Syrians or, Lebanese call themselves Palestinians. They never did.
The Philistines dispersed somehow, yes, they disappeared as an ethnic group ,also defeated in battle repeatedly. There is no relation to Arab Palestinians.
I would like to see a credible extant map of the Levant referred to as Palestine before 136CE. There is no such map for 600 years of Ottoman rule, that I know of. But I sincerely like to see it if there was one .
I have only seen Christian religious maps of Israel or the Holy Land, that are labeled with the Roman place name of Palestine...Judah, Samaria and the Gallilee.
Of course, Columbus called America ' India' and there are such maps, however incorrect.
Ancient Levant was not referred to as Palestine by Levantine tribes, or by Canaanites or by the Jews.
Arab Palestine is a 20th century construction. Attempts to re-lable ancient Canaan as Palestine are political manipulations by pan Islamists in order to claim now what was not historically theirs.
Are you an academic? Can you name western historians who support your propositions? Are there any history books that talk about Levant as Palestine. I only know of old religious books that refer to the land of the Jews, as Palestine.
To my knowledge, Greek references to Palestina obviously referred to the Greek Philistines. They did not live in the hills, although they must have traded throughout Levant and the Mediterrainian coast. This has nothing to do with modern Arab Palestine.
I am still reading about the history of Levant so perhaps I am mistaken. If so I will stand corrected.
Your video is nevertheless interesting and reflects a unique perspective. Thank you for your courteous reply.
