Thomas..you said..." There is extensive reference to an established, powerful Philistine presence in the old Testament, so it obviously predates the Israelites. I don't think what happened thousands of years ago is particularly relevant, though."....

If original ownership or who was there first is not relevant to ownership today then IYO what is.?

Power,war, the ability to keep the land by force. Population where the majority rules?

Still looking for info as to whether philistines predated Israelites.

Definition of philistine from oxford dictionary.
A member of a people in ancient Palestine who were enemies of the Israelites. 2)an uncultured person, one whose interests are material and commonplace. having or showing uncultured tastes.
