      It’ll be renamed to the “Holy Land of America” on Google maps any day now, so I guess they’ll all get called “Ameristinians” as a catch-all term.

      OBVIOUSLY /s

        They’ll probably call themselves Patresortians to reflect how great patriots they are to be proud of making such a terrible place so beatiful (in their minds).

        Same way American emmigrants like to call expats instead of emmigrants

      Israeli prime minister Golda Meir said she’s a Palestinian.

      The use of the word Palestinian changed over time. Before the establishment of Israel Palestinian was often used specifically to refer to Jews living in the holy land. Lots of Jewish founded institutions like airlines, newspapers, sports teams, orchestras were named Palestinian. They changed their names after Israel was founded.

      The Arabs used Palestinian as their national identity only after Israel was established. The Palestinian identity as we know it today coalesced in the 1960s.

      Before the British Mandate for Palestine, the Arabs in the region tended to identify as Syrian.

      During the British mandate they called themselves Palestinians. Because of their independence they’re no anymore
