Interesting piece. The big point: while the term Palestine may be derived from the same term used to describe the Philistines, this is insignificant considering that the Philistines were not Arab, and came from the north, not out of the Arabian desert. The modern Palestinians are not related to the Philistines.

The modern Palestinians are not related to the Philistines.

I don't see the significance of this statement. Who is to say if the modern Israelis are related to the Israelites in any way but religion (and that has changed considerably). Even if all the myths are taken at face value the nation of Israel existed for only a very few centuries and that was about 3000 years ago.
