Quote:The name 'Philistines' is used loosely for enemies in the region.
Do you ever know what the fuck you are talking about? Do you simply pull shit out of your ass and tell yourself it is true?
The Philistines, ( Peleset, in Egyptian texts) were part of the Sea People confederation. After a battle with the Egyptians they withdrew to the east and landed in Canaan which until then had been part of the Egyptian empire. They overran the Canaanite towns - the destruction layers and the shift in pottery from Canaanite to Hellenic is well-established - and took over. Shortly thereafter the Egyptians withdrew from their long-established base at Beth Shean.
There were no fucking Philistines in Canaan prior to this. The name was not used "loosely" and you, good sir, are a bible-thumping moron.
