Palestinian Lexicon and Dictionary

Palestinian official Jibril Rajoub recently thanked the International Olympic Committee for refusing to hold a minute of silence in memory of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by PLO terrorists at the Munich Olympic games in 1972, saying that such a commemoration would have been “racism.”

This confused me, as the refusal to honor those victims is what seemed to be racist. So I embarked on a lexicographic study of Palestinian English. It turns out that Palestinian activists and their allies have indeed invented a parallel language, which I call Palestinese.

This lexicon is the fruit of my research.

Aboriginal/Native:
Any non-Jew, preferably Arab, who has immigrated to Israel/Palestine within the last 150 years or is a remnant of Arab colonial conquests. For example, Yasser Arafat and Edward Said who were both born in Egypt are “Native” Palestinians.

Apartheid:
The only system in the Middle East which is democratic and grants Arab citizens full equality under the law, including the right to become a Justice of the Supreme Court, an ambassador, a military officer or a Minister in the Cabinet., i.e. a form of “Racism.” Not to be confused with the widespread discrimination and exclusion of Palestinians on ethnic grounds in Lebanon, which is not “Apartheid.”

Apartheid Wall:
A separation fence erected in response to countless terror attacks in order to protect both Jews and Muslims from suicide bombings as a manifestation of “Zionist Aggression.”

Checkpoint:
An absolutely gratuitous, cruel and malicious security measure erected in the West Bank in response to years of deadly suicide bombings, to be equated with the worst forms of human torture. Not to be confused with security checkpoints at airports and international borders which, though identical in the inconveniences they cause, are perfectly acceptable.

Civilian:
An armed Palestinian terrorist in the act of planning or staging a terror attack who is targeted or killed by Israel.

Concession:
The state that should perpetually be inhabited by Israel as part of “Peace.”

Collaborator:
Any Palestinian who is murdered by Fatah or Hamas for espousing beliefs that fall short of unbending hatred of “Zionists.” Not to be confused with “Martyr.” E.g., Hamid was thrown off of a building for criticizing Hamas’ inadequate maintenance of Gaza’s sewer system; he was a “Collaborator.”

Compassion:
A human weakness to be exploited through lies and fabrications in order to demonize Israel. E.g., “Zionists” kill puppies for fun.

Day of Rage:
Friday..........

    Hmmmm, it seems that same 'logic' is being implemented here in the U.S. by the current administration.
    Example: Want a half priced tuition to college? Sure, who wouldn't?
    One caveat.....you bust be an illegal alien.....and of course, the few American's who still have a job will pay the difference with their taxes.
    What a freakin world!

    I hear ya, I feel your bitterness on the Gov' and I can understand why. One thing I can't understand, I've heard people talking about illegal immigrants, and I agree they are plenty, but I don't understand how these people gets such benefits. I also immigrated to U.S, and I had hard time without driving license and social security in times "between visas". I couldn't drive, open bank account, use credit, need to stop working from time to time, and many other issues. But I studied... almost for free!

    So maybe the Gov' gave "easy way" in one part.... education.... yet, the Gov' (and you) gets it in return... now! I'm working, paying taxes, hiring people, etc... managing business. You say that you "paid" for my education by your taxes? Well, you did great "investment", then, because I think I help the economy a little bit, instead to be a "pain in the ass" for you and the Gov', don't you think so?

    Here's a phrase that will never be part of their lexicon: rule of law.
