You think that is funny, ask a German where he lives.
germans do not call themselves GERMANS (or CHERMANS)
but "PALESTINIANS" do call themselves
"BALESTINIANS"----they use the word invented
by the greeks
it is true that they do an attempted
clean up by saying FLEASSTEEEN--
but that is more comical than
purified
They also use the GREEK NAME "neopolis"
for a city in samaria which they actually claim
is an arabic NABLUS
try not to be so dense, tinnie
Funny thing, Arabs rejected the name palestine and palestinian until the 1960s. In their view, the land was south Syria, called Suriya Janubiyya in Arabic. There was even a newspaper there by that name
There was also a newspaper called The Filistine when Palestine was still under Ottoman rule.
