It makes for a plausible explanation for how Israel became part of the Axial Age if you accept southern Europe means Greece.

It has been suggested that they spoke an Indo-European language. Also the word Palestine derives ultimately from Philistine. They were there before the Hebrews in biblical times and they are still there. As for being the bad guys, I suppose they were, in the same way as the Sioux, Apache, Cherokee, &c. Identifying the bad guys is always left to whomever gets to write history.

God is becoming less of an Englishman and more of an American.

He's fine when his chosen people do it - that's manifest destiny. But when anyone else does it......

Brilliant. Love to be a descendant of the Philistines! The only reason they get a bad press is because they dared to say to the Israelites “No you can’t have our land, now piss off!”
