Great video. Go Israel!

Its called Israel according to most media books and such. only arab and islamic nations name it Palestina,

It should be noted that the area of palestina also included Jordan, yet i dont see the palestinians bomb Jordan with missles and such and they occupy palestina ;)

We all know muslims cannot live in peace next to non muslims, thats teh only reason why there is a conflict,

name 1 nation where a islamic and non islamic nation dont have conflict and strife, there are non!

Phillistia is English for the Greek word.

Palaestina is Latin for the Greek Word

Alexander didnt speak latin he never called it Palaestina. Roman writers translating Greek epics wrote Palaestina.

Phistia aint Latin its english Algeria is not latin. You need to educate yourself. Ive researched this .

Nope there just one version. No area has 2 bersions.

Except Phillistia is not rooted from the Greek Language.

Do you speak Greek? Do you know how Greek words are spelled? Palaestina is a Greek word. It is what Alexander the Great called the region when he conquered it.

Phillistia is a Roman Word. The "ia" is a Roman suffix refering to land, much as the word "stan" in Persian.

Kreplach, do yourself a favor. Learn Latin and Greek, because you are getting the two confused.

I speak both languages. You don't. So shut up, you fool.

[Tom101229]

No. It is different versions of the same area.

[kreplach2]

When the Romans spoke Greel they wrote Phillistia when they wrote in Latin it was Palaestina. VERY SIMPLE. Latin predominated until the empire split. LATIN was the schlarly and imperial lingo.

They never said Phillistia since Hadrian renamed Judea in a name that was an insult to Jews...Palaestina, Land of the Phillistines IN LATIN. The Phillistines were destroyed 500 years before by the Babylonians. Really only the Bible and Herodotus mentioned them.

[Tom101229]

Romans spoke Latin and Greek. When they took over Greece, the absorbed a lot of its culture and the Roman Empire became a bilingual empire of Latin and Greek languages. Look it up on wikipedia.

They reason why they didn't kept Phillistia is because the region was administered as part of the Eastern half of the Empire of which Greek rather than Latin was the administered language due to convinience. And yes this was prior to the break of Rome into Eastern and Western halves.

[Tom101229]

I didn't say the Romans called it Phillistia. I am saying the Roman word for the region is Phillistia prior to taking the region over. Palaestina is a word of Greek origin.

I mean can't you tell Latin words from Greek words?
