Now, what I want you to do, take your finger, now point to "Israel" on that map. Okay, good. Now. Point to "Palestine" on that map. Or well, at least what Americans understand as "Palestine" (yes yes, semantic hangup on that one. Just call me antisemantic, I guess.)

Palestine is shorthand for "The Occupied Palestinian Territories," because fourteen syllables is a heck of a mouthful for an impromptu conversation. We do say "Palestinians" and not "Westbankers and Gazans" for about the same reason.

Now. You are faced with a choice of conclusions.

Or...

She was saying that the illegal settlers - mostly immigrants from the named countries - should get the fuck out of territory that does not belong to them, and maybe go back to their original nations.

I think the real question is why you would unquestioningly, religiously almost, accept the first, worst notion.

Oh. Right.

She's Lebanese-American. Makes all the difference.
