Originates from the HEBREW word Pâlishtim,which the ancient Egyptians adopted for the people who often docked in Gaza, and later the ancient Greeks adopted to refer to the region.
The word Pâlishtim comes from the root âPaleshetâ â the verb âLifloshâ which means âto invadeâ.
Therefore, much like robber (noun) âI robbed (verb) the storeâ, we can say: Liflosh verb for to invade, I am a Palestinian (noun), meaning invader.
