THE HELL WITH THE NARRATIVE How do we change that reality? Firstly, we stop using their wrong lingo, their made up lexicon. We need to disassociate ourselves from it. Secondly, we adopt, not invent, the already existing and right terminology. We stop using the term ‘narrative,’ which has become associated with their twisted and made up tale. The term “narrative” is wrong because it has resulted in fueling Arab terrorism, hatred, anti-semitism and European guilt. Instead, we use historical, archeological and legal facts. We stop referring to Eretz Yisrel as ‘Palestine’ (a name that is derived from the root word of “invaders”). We stop referring to Judea and Samaria as “The West Bank.” And we stop treating towns and residents of Judea and Samaria as “settlements” or “settlers.” We stop using the term “occupation”;how can a nation occupy its own land? We stop calling the Arabs in Eretz Yisrael “Palestinians” just as the other nations which ruled this place in the past, Turkey and Jordan, did. They are Arabs, their language is Arabic as are their culture and heritage. We should, instead, refer to them as “those that call themselves ‘Palestinians.” We cannot fight for what is Right by using and employing the vocabulary of that which is Wrong! blogs.timesofisrael/the-hell-with-the-narrative-2/
