 | | Josephus, a Jew writing in Greek to a Roman audience, is attempting to present a positive picture of Jewish history in terms his Gentile audience will understand. | | | The history of the land on which biblical Israel had flourished was marked by foreign domination from the time of the rise of the Assyrian Empire in the eighth century BCE. | | | And we tend to read them through the lens of history, a history in which Jews and Christians are separate religious groups, and Christians dominate the western world. |

| | Origin of the Name Palestine |
| | In the Persian and Greek periods, foreign settlers - chiefly from the Mediterranean islands - overran the Philistine districts. | | | This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. | | | The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities. |
