Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleaguesā quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza ādisturbingā in a statement Wednesday.
āItās truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,ā Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
And, ah, who were the Palistinians before Islam?
Gaza was one of the Philistine city-statesā¦ you know. Early on, Canaanites- The people that Israelites tried genocide to ācome into the promised landāā¦ and who Solomon and David were at war.
The area has a very long, very ancient historyā¦ and that history is part of how we got to the partition plan and the Nakba and all that.
I donāt have any real answers for solving the violence. I truly wish I did.
Archaeology links the Philistines to the Mycenaean civilization due to similarities in their crafting. Thereās a possibility the Philistines were of the Sea Peoples - Southern European invaders of Egypt, Canaan and Turkey - in the late Bronze Age.
