'Palestinian' National Identity Does Not Have Historical Validation - Term Appropriated Centuries Ago When True Ethnic 'Philistines' Disappeared

Continuing to give credence to the term 'Palestinian' shows only that the use of the 'identity' indicated the success of the perpetrators of actual Arabic (Egyptian, Jordanian, et al) identity in gaining international sympathy after the British post Victorian mentality of not allowing the Jewish heritage to return to its historical homeland, thus encouraging 'right of return' of mainly Arabic tribal factions that are merely indigenous sons of Ishmael, who are not true 'Palestinians' anymore than that of Israelis' born there being called 'Palestinians.'
That is the purely secularistic perspective. On the other hand, which of any international globalistic perspectives has the unmitigated temerity to run against the record promise that the land belongs to the children of Abraham generally; and the children of Jacob specifically. The price of that contention is under demand as this is being written.
