The name Palestine is an altered form of Phillistine, which refers to an ethnic group that is mentioned prominently in the Old Testament. If Palestinians are actually Phillistines, then their presence in the disputed territory known variously as Palestine or Israel or the Holy Land predates that of the Jews according to the historical record of the Jews themselves. However, over a period of many thousands of years (at least 3500 years) there has been lots of migration, lots of people entering and leaving the constantly disputed territory in question, and significant intermarriage wtih other ethnic groups such as the Bedouin Arabs. After this great passage of time, the geneology of Palestinians is not something that we can determine with any great confidence. Nonetheless, it seems reasonable to think that at least some of their ancestors, at one time came from Greek islands.
