Have you ever wanted to know more about the Philistines? Well, if you are a bible reader, you must engross your self in their history, since they had so many wars against Israel, and are mentioned a lot in the historical books of the Old Testament.
Profesor Louise Hitchcock, from the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, was interviewed by Israel Radio, and gives a lengthy background about the Philistines. You can also find the lecture on iTunes.
This type of study is very important to hear and digest. We understand so much about ancient Israel, and also, get over many "legends" that are present today among Christians, who see the present Palestinians as descendant of the Philistines, therefore, are fair game, a.k.a, is ok to kill them and dispossess them from their lands.
Anyway, this sort of lectures are good for all who are interested to hear. It is also good to be informed about the latest archeological findings and advancements, and not rely on Simcha Jacobonici for archeological info.
