Israel has no right to exist, a radical Muslim cleric visiting Gaza declared on Thursday, encouraging rocket attacks on the Jewish State.

Yusuf al-Qaradawi warned that nobody was allowed to cede “any part of Palestine” during his visit to the Hamas-controlled region, according to AFP.

“No one is allowed to give up any part of Palestine,” the Egyptian-born Qardawi said during a meeting with Gaza’s prime minister Ismail Haniyeh and members of the government.

Qaradawi, who is a citizen of Qatar and close to the Muslim Brotherhood, was heading of a delegation of 50 clerics from 14 countries.

“Palestine was never Jewish,” he said. “Palestine is Arab and Muslim and will remain Arab and Muslim, and Islam will prevail.” …

Goliath was a Philistine.

http://www.levitt.com/essays/palestine.html

“The term Palestine is rarely used in the Old Testament, and when it is, it refers specifically to the southwestern coastal area of Israel occupied by the Philistines. It is a translation of the Hebrew word “Pelesheth.”

The term is never used to refer to the whole land occupied by Israel. Before Israel occupied the land, it would be generally accurate to say that the southwestern coastal area was called Philistia (the Way of the Philistines, or Palestine), while the central highlands were called Canaan. Both the Canaanites and the Philistines had disappeared as distinct peoples at least by the time of the Babylonian Captivity of Judea (586 B.C.), and they no longer exist.

In the New Testament, the term Palestine is never used.”

And interesting that the modern “Palesinians” pick up the name from Goliath. Even back then they didn’t keep their word. The deal was that if Goliath lost, his army would become slaves to David, and vice-versa. But - when Goliath was killed, the Philistines ran away.

“Palestine was never Jewish”, try telling that to God.

During a meeting of the UN the Israeli delegate stood up and said: We have definite proof that it was the Palestinians that broke the original ten commandments." The Palestinian delegate immediately jumped up and said: "There were no Palestinians anywhere near Mt. Sinai at the time."

The Israeli delegate smiled and said: "Good now that we have settled who was there first...."

Watch these Navy SEAL Team VI families and other family members as they reveal the Obama Administrations culpability in death of their sons in the fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on bin Laden’s compound. This is a powerful and riveting briefing that included some of America’s most significant military leaders.

Video of their funeral has an Imam condemning the fallen SEAL warriors.

Genesis 15:18

God made this with Abraham and his descendants

Which most of the world will argue includes folks besides just Jews who claim to come from Issac

He had another son Ishmael that comes to mind

Ishmael was Isaac’s half-brother and not an heir of Abraham. None of Abraham’s children from Keturah were heirs of Isaac’s stature either. It’s true that the lost ten tribes also have a claim to the land, but they still don’t know who they are.

Goliath was a descendant of Philistines who invaded Israel from Mediterranean Europe.

Interestingly enough the name “Philistines” is of Semitic origin (they were Indo-European speakers) and means “invaders”.

The historic Philistines themselves were Hamites.

The evidence suggests they were from the Aegean region, the same as Greeks and Thracians. Do you consider them “Hamites”?

What evidence do you speak of? Israel Finkelstein’s claims? Perhaps so. Their heritage is distinct from Javan (a Japhethite), who according to Josephus was the ancestor of the Greeks.

The Bible says that the Philistines came from the Casluhim, who in turn came from the Mizraim (Egyptians), descended from Ham. That’s where I get “Hamite” from, especially distinct from Semite (descended from Shem).
