Philestine is the name of the land or Canaan in English it’s Palestine. Even before the so called father of the Jews ibraham migrated to philestine as a refugee from Iraq seeking refuge by the indigenous people of philestine as ibraham called it so is all of the indigenous people of the middle eastern native people call it philestine. Till today everyone in the Middle East calls it philestine. The Zionist narrative of erasing the native people history and push their fraudulent narrative Wil never works in the Middle East we know our history more than any polish or German or Russian Jew trying to rewrite the history of the philestine ( Canaan ). Palestine in English. The Jews were the squatters and invaders who claim to come out of Egypt when the land كنعان او فلسطين of philestine was so populated with the indigenous natives nations of the Canaanite such as the jebusite and Hittite and the philestine and the amalkaite and the Amorite and the heksos and the list goes on. Sorry to break the news to you but the Jews have zero claim to the land of philestine
A propaganda video at its lowest. Sir the philestine are still alive in (Palestine in English ). So those books you are reading from written by the Jews to brainwash idiots so they can make their land theft legal 😂

Why do you show Spain when talk about Palestine??
They were brought from the island Crete so that Israel may have fight with them always.
Philistines were not white. White people are unhappy with their own history of killing, stealing and taking. They want to be builders of ancient history. They are not even a part of ancient history. It is strange, they were claiming Egypt, Rome, Greece, Jesus, and the disciples including everything Ancient. Your history is genocide on unarmed people, rape of children, women and men. Your history is lying, pretending, conning, and stealing and today’s activity is War mongering. You need to offer
Something worthwhile to mankind.
