        What I was referring to is how Israeli papers, especially ToI, refers to Palestinians (Palestinian citizens of Israel or otherwise) as “Arabs” as a form of cultural erasure.

        Judging from the downvotes I got, it seems this was not as widely known as I’d assumed.

          Actually there are a good number of Arab Israelis who are not of Palestinian origin. It’s a more encompassing term. Plus from what I know Times of Israel is left leaning - so you might be barking up the wrong tree here.

            Yes, there are many Arab Israelis, but there are many more “of Palestinian origin”.

            I seriously doubt ToI are trying to be “encompassing”… Never heard anyone describe them as “left leaning”. I would personally describe them as a “state tabloid”.

            After having a look, that’s not left leaning.

            Centrist at best and centrism is basically just right wing anyway.

    Gaza on top of being impoverished with unemployment, the ones with job permits were farm slave labors. This proves israel is not an aparthied and the palestinians were happily living in open-air concentration camps their whole lives /s
