@kasz216, that's the fallacy in what he originally said and what he is saying now. Instead of just admitting his original thought was literally wrong he is using as much grey area as possible to say he is right.

My original thought was correct.  The Palestinians are the decended people of the Philistines and have lived in the region for millenia.  Its true that would make Jews descendants of Philistines (we are all related anyway), but many Jews living in Israel are European Jews.  Not that thats a bad thing, but it means they have less connectivity with Palestine and, as far as wanting to give hereditary rights to land is concerned, belong more to Europe or Khazak (first non-Israel Jewish state which is in modern Russia, why so many Jews lived in Eastern Europe).

That's a myth. I heard that myth told many times by Arabs and anti-semites because they want to degrade the original Jewish heritage.

And Palestinians being descendants to the Philistines is just a pathetic claim. Sorry, but the Jews came to Palestine long before the Arabs. Israel belongs to the Jews.
