If the Palestinian people were the real Levantines (people of the Levant), why then do they speak Arabic, which is a language not indigenous to any part of the Levant, and don’t maintain any of the original Levantine languages? How come they don’t speak Edomite, Moabite, Ammonite, Aramaic or Phoenician?
Oh, never mind. When all else fails, not-antisemites will claim the Palestinians are the “real” Hebrews, and that Jesus was a Palestinian or whatever. So let me rephrase the question once again:
If the Palestinian people were the real Hebrews, why then do they speak Arabic, a language which was never spoken by Hebrews? How come they don’t maintain the original Hebrew?
