A Matter of Perspective
(Israel Hayom) Yaakov Ahimeir - A textbook taught in Palestinian Authority schools states that the "ancient history of Palestine bore witness to the invasion of the Israelites, led by Joshua, and to their battle with the Canaanites and the Palestinians." Thus, Joshua and his army conquered Palestine, which, according to the PA textbook, existed in the 12th century BCE (if not earlier). "King David fought the Canaanites and the Palestinians and built his kingdom on part of the Palestinian land," claims a Palestinian textbook.
