For you Hamas supporters...

...I saw something interesting. Leon Uris wrote the book Exodus about the 1947 founding of Israel. It was made into a movie in 1960. So we're talking about a span 13 years. Repeatedly, the Jewish characters refer to themselves as PALESTINIANS. Paul Newman's character Ari said he was a Sabra, a native born PALESTINIAN. The Jews and others born there are the Palestinians and not those murderous refugees.

As the book was written about the founding/establishment of Israel.

The characters would have been Palestinian at the time as Israel had not been "founded" yet.

Israel was founded May 14, 1948

Sabra in current context means a native born Israeli.

At the time of the book it would have meant a native born Palestinian.

Interestingly enough, the actual meaning of Sabra is "a type of prickly pear endemic in the Middle East."

Colloquially the term sabra is viewed as a metaphor for the Israeli—someone with a rough exterior but a sweet, sensitive soul.

Time marches on and the definitions of words often change with the times.

My hope is that my post will be educational and bring an end to this thread, but I am concerned that it will not stop the trolling of the Forums.

^^got my attention

I have yet to read a single post by anyone in this forum ever supporting Hamas. This troll thread is ridiculous but lately predictable.

On a lighter note, the Duke/Houston game was a shocking ending.
