Los Palestinos y su Identidad

No solamente los israelíes son engañados, sino también los palestinos mismos. Ellos son usados tan solamente como medio para alcanzar la meta, ya que de ellos se está haciendo un pueblo que en realidad nunca ha existido. El nombre "palestinos" deriva de la palabra "filisteos". Sin embargo, estos provenían originalmente de Creta (Caftor), ocuparon partes del territorio y destruyeron su población. En Deuteronomio 2.23 leemos: "Y en cuanto a los aveos que vivían en las aldeas cercanas a Gaza, los caftoritas procedentes de Creta los destruyeron y se establecieron en su lugar." (vea también Jos. 13.3; Gn. 10-14; Jer. 47.4; Am. 9.7). Pero como los filisteos provenían de Caftor (Creta) ni siquiera eran árabes. La palabra "Palestina" sencillamente es una expresión general para la tierra de Israel, la cual fue inventada por el emperador romano Adriano. Este sin embargo odiaba a Dios y a los judíos. En el año 135 d.C. reprimió el levantamiento de Bar-Kochba de los judíos. El quería destruir toda memoria de Israel y de Jerusalem, y de ahí en adelante dió a la ciudad de Jerusalem el nombre de Aelia Capitolina. A la tierra de Israel también le cambió el nombre por el de sus más encarnizados enemigos, los filisteos. Con una honestidad increíble, uno de los líderes representantes de la OLP, Zuheir Mohsen, en el año 1977 confesó el bien calculado mal uso de...
