4. The Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra was founded by violinist Bronisław Huberman in 1936, at a time when many Jewish musicians were being fired from European orchestras.

5. Palestinian More than 30,000 Palestinian Jews who enlisted in the British army in the course of World War II. In the last stages of the war, the Jewish Brigade Group was established and saw action against the Nazis in northern Italy.

6. Palestinian

7. Recommended Terminology: Palestinian Arab or Arabs living in the Palestine region Rationale: Establishing that a Palestinian Arab identity is a modern construct undermines the very foundation of the Arab narrative.

8. Palestinian Land

11. Recommended Terminology: Disputed land Israeli territorries Former Ottoman Land Rationale: Even though official Israeli spokesmen may use the phrases “Occupied Palestinian land” or “Palestinian territory,” we should minimize their use as they are not accurate and support the false Arab narrative. Even the more accurate term, “disputed territory”, has fallen into disuse.

12. Relative Sizes

13. Occupation The occupied communities of 1948

14. Occupation The invasion of 1967

15. Occupation Recommended Terminology: Disputed land Israeli territorries Former Ottoman Land Rationale: Even though official Israeli spokesmen may use the phrases “Occupied Palestinian land” or “Palestinian territory,” we should minimize their use as they are not accurate and support the false Arab narrative.

16. Settlements Kfar Etzion

17. Settlements Hebron

18. Settlements Jerusalem

19. Settlements Tel Aviv

20. Settlements Recommended Terminology: Jewish Communities, towns, villages Rationale: In modern times, cities with populations of tens of thousands aren’t called settlements anywhere except when Israel is involved. Anywhere else in the world most of what are called “settlements” would be referred to as Jewish communities. Arab communities, regardless of age, size, of legality, are rarely called “settlements”. Insist that there shouldn’t be special definitions just for Israel or Jews as that could be an indication of anti- Semitism.

21. East Jerusalem

25. Recommended Terminology: Neighborhoods on the east side of Israel’s capital Rationale: Eastern Jerusalem has never been referred to as a distinct municipal entity until the illegal Jordanian Arab invasion and partition. The Old City of Jerusalem was “ethnic cleansed” of the Jewish population in 1948. Always refer to Jerusalem as “Israel’s Capital” or “Jerusalem, Israel’s Capital”.

26. Green Line

28. Recommended Terminology: Cease fire lines or Armistice line Rationale: The 1967 cease fire lines should not be referred to as the “border” or “green line” because this implies that Israel violated a border during the 1967 war. Ask: “What border was crossed?” Also, “Why are the ’67 cease fire lines less permanent than the ’48 cease fire lines?”
