1918 – Jewish Telegraph agency
It was in the year preceding the outbreak of the war that the
struggle for the use of Hebrew in education was fought out in
Palestine between the Palestinians and the German Jews, says a
writer in the Zionist Review. As the result of that struggle, new
schools were founded in Jerusalem in which elementary, secondary
and higher education was given entirely in Hebrew, to both boys
and girls.
The European Jews are the most strange people in the world. The
Palestinians that were mentioned here were not the indigenous
true Palestinians but the European Jews who were living in
Palestine at that time had begun to call themselves Palestinians.
Immediately after the Ottoman government was no more, the
European Jews began to call themselves Palestinians all the way
until 1948! What a shameless people! They had decided that they
wanted to call their country Palestine and their nationality name
was going to be Palestinian and they changed their mind only a
few hours before they declared a state. I have over a hundred
statements like the above where these white people were calling
themselves Palestinians that I will be sharing very soon. When I
read them, I start laughing, because it is so weird for these
Europeans to call themselves Palestinians!
