Hi Yitzhak,
I've been reading your response over and over again and the only
things I can conclude from it are one of the following:
1) You hold the Philistines to be indigenous with no invasion ever occurring
2) You hold that the Philistines invaded and settled an uninhabited land
Which of these two is it?
