Subject: RE: BS: suicide bomber murders 9 in Tel Aviv
Today's Palestinians are not all descended from ancient Canaanites and Philistines. Some are converted Jews. Some are descended from Arab families who arrived with various conquerors.

I've never heard or read anything suggesting that the Palestinians have any kind of relationship with the ancient Canaanites and Philistines.

The Palestinians are Arabs. The Arabs first arrived in Israel/Palestine as conquerors in the 7th century A.D.
