I'm a student of ancient Near Eastern archeology and I have a problem with those individuals who consistantly state that Palestine "never" existed. Unfortunately for them, the ancient Palestinians always lived alongside the Hebrews. They shared similar language, culture, etc. On the flip side, they weren't Hebraic. I think its completely intoxicating to hear that the Palestinians don't have a home. Such is complete nonsense. The myth of a purely exclusive Israel, as Hebrew archeologist Ze'ev Herzog once said, "ain't necessarily so."
