Why is it israelis and not israelites?
I saw and still see pro palestinians bringing up this up as a way to show that we are "not the real israelites" or that it means that we are not really indigenous to the land and i have a few things to say about that
1. The name israel itself IS indigenous, not only is that an aramaic name- an actual indigenous language to the land- it is also the father of the 12 jewish tribes, it means "the one who fight for god" or "god preserves" whereas the name palestine... not only does it NOT comes from an indigenous language but its an ACTUAL insult in every original scripts (philistine- a person with no culture or appreciation for art. Plishtim- invadors) or straight up has nothing to do with native or Palestinian identity(greeks who called themselves "peaple of the sea). So calling israel "israhell" while forcing the palestinian name is one of the most bigoted thing one can do
2. Maybe, and just maybe, people were NOT speaking English in the mIDDLE EAST THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO??? In hebrew AND in aramaic we don't have the word "israelite" we refer to ourselves as "hebrews", "the israeli nation" or "the sons of israel" in fact, if im not wrong, we DO refer to ourselves as "israelis" when talking about ancient times. Taking israelite vs israeli as an argument is so stupid its feels like watching americans calling africa a country or italy a continent ENGLISH IS NOT OUR NATIVE LANGUAGE SO TAKING IT AS AN EXAMPLE IS USELESS
3. When we DO talk in English we say "israelis" bc there are a lot of NON jews living in israel who are citizens and also part of the modern israeli identity, in fact, they help us built it whether its by being doctors, serving the IDF or by having a simple shawarma stand. By refering to everyone as "israelis" and not "israelites and goyim" we include them with us as one big family and its kind of a symbol of how israel value democracy in the whole "israel a jewish DEMOCRATIC country".
So.. There it is, hope that helps to NOT erase indigenous identity and forcing arabic identity as a native one馃憤馃徎

Saw someone on the internet trying to explain that jesus was palestinian by saying that he was killed by a jew.
Ppl have such a weird perception and understanding of erhnicity and religion its SO weird. Like ok?? And ?? Jews can murder other jews we are all humans, black ppl kill black ppl, arabs kill arabs, chinese kill chinese and a jewish person CAN kill a jew.
Ofc murder is horrible and illegal no matter your ethnicity, religion, race, disability, sexuality etc, but physically the act can happen to all. And fawning over the fact that jesus was killed by a jew doesn't make him any less of a jew
Jesus was jewish guy born to a jewish woman, probably studying the torah(bc the romans forbid jwish religious practices and was punished by death) living in the kingdom of judea that was under roman occupation. I don't understand what makes him palestinian or any less jew
Goyim are so weird
