Semantics

Some of my readers have found my preference for certain terms questionable.

There's "revenant" instead of "settler".

And "communities" for "settlements".

I use "Pal." for nefarious members of the Arab nation living in Eretz Yisrael.

Seems that the other side is prone to the same.

Note:-

Sarah (sic! Should be Sari) Nussibeh, an active participant in the Israel-Palestine peace process and an expert in Islamic philosophy, contributes a chapter on the absurdities and excesses of religious belief in perpetuating conflict in “Palest-El.”
