USING ZIONIST INSTEAD OF ISRAELI

Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Dec 23, 2011 at 17:31

DEAR SLAYHY

I READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR

I did not want to go back that far but to me, it all started after the British occupation. You see, well before they became Israelis, the Jewish inhabitants of Palesine called themelves Palestinans. So I was reffering to those Arabs under Jordanian rule who after the 1967 war decided to all themselves Palestinans. They never used that name before

As for the Zionista --since this is how you call the Israelis--they are not gong anywhere but will stay put in the land that was always theirs since begning of time.

You made another mistake in your response to Gingrich.. You said that in 1870, 7000 Zionists lived in Palestine.Well for your knowldge, in 1870, Theodor Herzl was only 10 years old and the term did not exist till the 1890's

As for a Palestinian cuture I wish you tell me more about it, for the only one we know is that of hatred towards the Jews taught in schools at a tender age. Please tell me otherwse as I wish to learn

BEST REGARDS

P.S As for the Palesinians mentioned n the text books, they have nothing to do wth toady's Palestinans, those were the inhabitants of Palestine, Arabs, Christins and Jews

As for FILISTN, indeed The Bible records a people living in today's Gaza area under the name of PELISHTIM. the Romans found that out and changed it to Palestina,
