Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'
Though they survived, the suspect, 27-year-old Mordechai Brafman, who shot them 17 times, was charged with attempted murder.
Way to go, Florida man
You're viewing a single thread.
aren't israelis technically Palestinians since the region is called Palestine?
Whoa, whoa! Cool it with the anti semitism.
Aren't both Israelis and Palestinians part of the group known as Semitic people?
Not really used as a term anymore outside of anti-semite meaning anti-jew
But yes, they are both in the Middle East
Technically yes, although the term "anti-Semitic" (as the German word Antisemitismus) originally became established through specifically anti-Jewish conspiracy writings in the late 1800s. So the term "anti-semitic" generally means anti-Jewish, rather than literally being against Semitic peoples.
It'll be renamed to the "Holy Land of America" on Google maps any day now, so I guess they'll all get called "Ameristinians" as a catch-all term.
OBVIOUSLY /s
They'll probably call themselves Patresortians to reflect how great patriots they are to be proud of making such a terrible place so beatiful (in their minds).
Same way American emmigrants like to call expats instead of emmigrants
Israeli prime minister Golda Meir said she’s a Palestinian.
The use of the word Palestinian changed over time. Before the establishment of Israel Palestinian was often used specifically to refer to Jews living in the holy land. Lots of Jewish founded institutions like airlines, newspapers, sports teams, orchestras were named Palestinian. They changed their names after Israel was founded.
The Arabs used Palestinian as their national identity only after Israel was established. The Palestinian identity as we know it today coalesced in the 1960s.
Before the British Mandate for Palestine, the Arabs in the region tended to identify as Syrian.
Here a link: https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine
which refutes your claims in the last sentences but surely why should we trust britannica over a zionism apologist who clearly is pandering to their political agenda.
Your link doesn’t say what you claim it does.
I can't teach you how to read honestly. You made some baseless claims without any evidence. I share a link that disproves your claims (btw I mentioned which in my previous comment). And your response is "nuh uh".
How could I quote something that’s not in the linked article?
Somehow the takes responding to this post (tho satirical) just kept getting hotter
During the British mandate they called themselves Palestinians. Because of their independence they’re no anymore
