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! |
