Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

From all accounts, the Philistines were a rather enigmatic people who left virtually no record of their presence upon this earth, save for the (usually negative) tales told by others.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

The Philistines and Sea Peoples
Egyptian records from the 12th-13th centuries B.C. mention the Philistines in connection with the Sea Peoples. Due to their similar maritime history, their association with each other is strong. The Sea Peoples were a confederacy of naval raiders who were assumed to have moved in the eastern Mediterranean areas during the Bronze Age. It has been theorized that the Sea Peoples were originally Etruscan, Italian, Mycenaen or Minoan. As a group, they primarily focused their efforts on attacking Egypt during 1200-900 BCE.
Here are some facts about the Philistines:

- Breweries and wineries were found in Ancient Philistine ruins. The Philistines produced and consumed alcoholic beverages like beer and wine.
- Known for their innovative use of iron, the Philistines used this superior material to bronze, which was used by the Israelites for weaponry and more. This allowed the Philistines to be invincible on the battlefield.
- In the 8th-7th century B.C., starting with Tilgath-Pileser III, the Assyrians rule in Philistia. In 604 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Philistine cities of Ashdod, Akron and Ashkelon.
- A tiny pottery shard with an engraving containing two names that linguistically resembles "Goliath" was found in the ruins of Gath in late 2005, establishing the history of the biblical Goliath story.....snip~

The ancient Philistines — famous for their appearances in the Hebrew Bible, including the story of David and the giant Philistine Goliath — weren't local to what is now modern-day Israel. Instead, this enigmatic group descended from a group of seafaring Europeans, a new study of ancient DNA finds.
But that population was quickly absorbed by the surviving Canaanites who were probably a majority from the beginning. One thing I found fascinating was that the story of David and Goliath reflects Aegean military practices. It's more reminiscent of the Iliad than anything from the ANE (Ancient New East).
