Philistines
Interestingly, Philistine as a slur (meaning uncultured people) originated from biblical Israel's disdain for the Philistine people, who lived in modern day Palestine.
That actually is interesting and somehow says something about current day events...
...huh.
Was this word choice intentional for the current context?
The name Palestine comes from Philistine.
