Barak Ravid and Shahar Ilan, Haaretz Correspondents, and Haaretz Service: Palestinian PM: Israel should free more than just 200 prisoners
Talkback
Title:Jackie - how silly you are....!
Name:Palestinian Brit
City: Beit JalaState: FELASTINE
Let`s see now. Is it HEBRON or HEVRON - as pronounced by the Jews?
BEER SHEBA or BEER SHEVA?
PALESTINE is a westernised pronunciation of FELASTINE, which is familiar to all Arabs.
There are even places in the world which have been given totally different mames by the locals - Rhodesia - Zimbabwe - Ceylon - Sri Lanka etc. Even an attempt to blot out FELASTINE for ISRAEL....no joy there, however!
