WORDS ARE ALSO WEAPONS My understanding of the situation in Israel is that the Zionists in the main cannot bear to use the term "Palestinian" and instead refer to them as "Arabs." Calling them arabs implies that the exiled refugees could feel at home anywhere in the arab world say from Morrocco to Iraq whereas of course identifying the people as "Palestinian" implies that they have legitimate rights to belong to their homeland. Its a real battle of linguistics which I think the Palestinian people have won.If only the main struggle were as straightforward. Hugo
