The Philistines were several groups of sea-faring people who lived within the biblical promised land. The Bible states that these groups were destroyed, but modern scholarship cannot attribute any major demographic shift during the period as the biblical genocide would indicate.

Why did God say that the Philistines were bad?

God had made a promise to Abraham, to give his offspring a 'Promised Land'. God has the right to give someone any piece of land that he wishes to give them. Whoever resides there, must respect God's right to parcel out the earth. When Abraham's descendants (the Israelites) arrived to take possession of their Promised Land, the Philistines were not about to move. Instead they fought God's people. This is not good. The Philistines disrespected God's decision regarding who is assigned to that portion of land. They could have relinquished the land; and moved back from whence they came from (namely Crete). Because they didn't move; and because they fought God's people, it would not turn out good for them, because Almighty God is much stronger than they were. Therefore God saw to it that they were forcibly removed; or eradicated from the land.
