To help you along, I post the relevant link to that Goddess of Truth, Wikepedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines which states, among other things: "British writers of the 19th century and very early 20th century sometimes referred to the Arabs of Palestine as "Philistines". This was apparently not due to a belief in a strong connection with the ancient Philistines, but merely reflects the former convention that "Philistine" simply denotes "native of Palestine". Now Chacha, no apology is needed. Other people have made the same mistake but it time you will realise that I carefully double-check my facts before I write.
