How did you come to the conclusion that the Palestinians are descendents of the Philistines? I haven't digested the evidence. Some claim pottery of Philistine "sea people" is similar to Mycenean. DNA reports may show similarity between Jews and Palestinians. http://bioanthropology.huji.ac.il/pdf/Nebel2000.pdf High-resolution Y chromosome haplotypes of Israeli and Palestinian Arabs reveal geographic substructure and substantial overlap with haplotypes of Jews http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/109065703321560976 Y-Chromosom DNA Haplotypes in Jews: Comparisons with Lebanese and Palestinians search in http://www.bethel.edu for PhilistinesPOTW.pdf PHILISTINES by David M.Howard, Jr. http://books.google.com/books search for "Biblical Peoples" http://www.jogg.info/11/coffman.pdf A MOSAIC OF PEOPLE: THE JEWISH STORY AND A REASSESSMENT OF THE DNA EVIDENCE |

Dear Michael, You asked, "How did you come to the conclusion...?" As I recall I was taught it as a child. I was also taught it in upper division Old Testament and New Testament History classes. From what I am given to understand, it is commonly accepted perspective, at least ever since Hadrian's pejorative application of the name to the area. You wrote, "I haven't digested the evidence." Okay. I have. Burp. :-) DNA stuff: Yes, interesting that they would confirm the common lineage of Ishmael and Isaac to Father Abraham. We already knew that from Scripture. In Him, Doc |
