were those thieves in uniform, in 1947,
Jews ?? or Israelis ??
Why do some Arabs call the Jews , "Jews"
and call also the Israelis.... ..... "Jews" ???
It has a simple explanation ,
which has to do with chronology :
Until the years 1948 nobody has heard of the "Israelis"
all the immigrants into Palestine were ,indeed, Jews
and thus they were logically called "The Jews"
(and not Lithuanians, Polish,Latvians, German, Russian,French. ..etc..)
It was only after the establishment of a State called
the "State of Israel" that consequently came into the vocabulary
a new name-term-expressio n-designation, known as Israeli......
being the new-artificial- synthetic- citizenship.
What happens later on , and until today is the unfortunate fact
that when Arabs (in general) speak about the Israelis
they say " The Jews"...Al Yahood !
It is like the Amero-Indians who call all immigrants to the USA
the "white man" instead of calling them the colonisers.. ..or the Americans
Or like the white-man who robbed Africa is also called "White"
instead of "thief", or French or British or Italian or Potuguese... .rtc.
Why do I say unfortunate ??
because it gives the impression that there exists
an-anti-Jew- feeling among the Arabs,
and not simply and clearly an-anti-Israeli sentiment !!
Needless to say how the Western-media and the Zionist-Media
and the ignorant-media react to that expression-definiti on-name,
to describe it and exploit it , as being anti-Semitic.
So please bear in mind,
that any Arab (especially the Palestinians)
who is older than 40 years shall use the "Jews" expression.
As for the younger generation they will use "Israeli" to describe
the same people...... ......if ever they are a "people" !!
but that is another story .
