Anyone who reads the Bible can see that both Isaac and Ishmael had the same father.

However, the “Palestinian” Arabs have taken on the name of the Philistines, an unrelated people.

I've seen on the Internet recently that Palestine or a close spelling of it came from the Romans who named the territory after former occupations, and Palestine is how the Romans spelled Philistines or a close spelling of those people.
Ok I know what your doing now, your rolling your eyes like I did at first, but you got to admit it sounds like a good argument, and the philistines were a former occupant of the land before the Jews, and the Romans only existed maybe one century or two after they killed a majority of Jews in Judah and destroyed Jerusalem and the temple of the Jews.
For the record the Romans wanted to save the temple as it was one of the wonders of the world, but as many things happen unexpectedly in the fog of war it got set on fire by a torch and burned to the ground.
No one really knows who set it on fire, but there was a attempt to put it out but that failed. This all happen around A.D. 70

The one difference in the 2 sons of Abraham.

Ishmael was born first.. 13 yrs
Isaac was considered the one God promised.
The Jews lived/live in the land God promised
Ishmael’s seed want that land.
They have most all the rest in that area..
They want it sealed.. They want that piece of land.
The war will never end.
Till Jesus comes back.
