You think Palestianins called them self Palestianins? No! there is no letter P in the Arabic Alphbeth! afcourse these folks back in the time of David were not believers—there were Pagans!

I don't think anyone is referred to as Palestianins, by anyone.
Also, 11 typographical errors in 32 words? You've got to be trying to be that incompetent.
Palestine took its name from Philistia, and, though Semites, the Philistines spoke a language akin to Phoenician, now existing only as a substrate of Maltese. But, since you cannot spell from A to B, there is no point trying to educate you.
So they call themselves "Alestinians" ('Pagan' also starts with a 'P', doofus!)?
Also, I'm sure there's an equivalent of "Palestinian" in Arabic.
Also, not all "Araby" Mid-Easterners speak Arabic and Spellcheck is your friend.
Actually, in the Arabish language, which don't have an alphabet but an abjad to begin with, the region is called "Filastin."
Next time in Moscow remind me to tell a Russian that they cannot call someone from France as "frantsuzskiy" (romanised) because there is no letter that corresponds to a "ts" in the Latin alphabet. They should have more respect for the French!
In reality no-one rational would care about someone referring to their nationality using the term from their language and with their alphabet.
"Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?"
You think Germans call themselves Germans? No! There's no "J" sound in the language.
Palestine is an English translation of the Hebrew name for the region, by way of Greek.
Palestinians are just the descendents of the non-Jewish inhabitants of the region who assimilated into the Arab identity, which was Syrian for the longest of times. I don't give a fuck as to their religion, but I do raise an eyebrow when a bunch of people whose ancestors lived in Europe for hundreds of years suddenly start immigrating to their land to try and take it. It sounds like one of the crazier nationalist projects of the 19th century, but it ended up being by far the most successful and to this day the one that is the most impossible to solve.
