Philistines has nothing to do with the “palestinians”. Genetically or otherwise. The modern notion of “palestinians” is a further bastardization of this notion which was created by the conquering Romans re: Palestine.
Further, it’s modern expresssion is an Arab League exploitation of this anachronistic notion. Screw the notion entirely. And those of the Knesset who support the legitimacy in this notion are reprobates and betrayors of Israel.
“Philistines has nothing to do with the “palestinians”.”
Au contraire mon ami.
The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza. The name was revived by the Romans in the 2nd century CE in “Syria Palaestina,” designating the southern portion of the province of Syria, and made its way thence into Arabic, where it has been used to describe the region at least since the early Islamic era. After Roman times the name had no official status until after World War I and the end of rule by the Ottoman Empire, when it was adopted for one of the regions mandated to Great Britain; in addition to an area roughly comprising present-day Israel and the West Bank, the mandate included the territory east of the Jordan River now constituting the Hashimite Kingdom of Jordan, which Britain placed under an administration separate from that of Palestine immediately after receiving the mandate for the territory.

However you cut it, the claims in the posted article are as “fake” and wrong as ever.
Modern day Palestinian Arabs have as their ancestors Arabs, Egyptians, Judeans, Samaritans, Arameans, Moabites, Edomites, and yes Philistines.
Modern day Jews have among their ancestors Judeans, Edomites and yes, Philistines.
The Philistines as a nation were absorbed by their neighbours well before the Assyrian conquess of the 8th century BC
