Why Do We Still Call It Palestine?
Why do many Arabs still call Israel 'the occupation', or simply, 'Palestine'???
Call it Israel if you wish, its name to many of the regular people in Arab countries in the MENA region, is the illegally occupied "Palestine". You're most welcome to call me and my people (Semites) anti-Semites for standing up for what is rightfully a Palestinian land. Despite the fact that our chicken Arab leaders calling the Zionist state, a friend, to us it's called the occupation. Just like we used to call the French & British rule over our countries,occupation, Israel is not different. It's far worse, cause the amount of lying & misinformation is doubled or tripled in its case. And when it bombs civilians under the watch of the international community, leaders of the world's biggest "democracies" come out and lecture us about how the state of Israel, the biggest bully in the Middle East, has the right to defend itself, and if you dare speak about the Palestinian's right to freedom, dignity, and also the bloody "self defense", you're wrongly equated with "European" Nazis who killed innocent Jews!!! What kind of crazy world we live in????
We live in a time where former imperialists lecture the oppressed how it's only acceptable to remain oppressed, remain besieged, remain in chains, we like you better this way!!! If you dare to differ, careful they will call you ISIS, even if your entire family in Iraq or Syria was wiped off the Earth by ISIS!!! Pray tell me what kind of idiocy is this?
"Oh, you're racist, you're against Israel's right to exist" they would say. How about the fact that the state of Israel does "exist" whether we like it or not. It exists on militarily occupied land and the people of the land are struggling to exist, how about that?!! The only thing crippling peace in the region is the continuing engulfment of more and more Palestinian land. Israel proved more than once that it never wanted peace, since its foundation in 1948. Now we can hardly find Palestine on the map, and you dare call me a Racist!
We're governed by a bunch of cowards who won't say it as it is, traitors who kill & torture their own people, imprison them for speaking up against injustice. They dare call themselves patriotic, and turn a blind eye to the suffering of their brethren. We lived to watch our neighbors in Gaza getting massacred 3 times and did absolutely NOTHING!!!
We as Arab youths, were told by our same leaders that all Arabs and people in the Middle East are brothers, we didn't invent it, they told us so & preached it in our school books. when we dare wonder why we're not helping our brethren as we should? why are we locking them up like Israel is doing?, you hear the same elders going like, "Brethren? we don't have any, just worry about your fellow citizens in your country and forget whatever is happening behind your borders!".

Our useless leaders have made us ashamed of the title "Arab", growing up, we thought it's synonymous with justice, bravery, chivalry, and fighting for freedom till the last breath. Now, we realized our title just adds to the pain.
We do miss peace, we miss a time where Arabic speakers didn't fear the sight of Hebrew language. Many of our elders in Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq, who are older than the Zionist state miss having Jewish neighbors & school friends in the same neighborhood.
Many things have changed since the foundation of the state of Israel, the polarization reached unprecedented levels. And terror & violence ruined the entire region.The incompetence of our Arab leadership gave a bed for terrorists to flourish and for brainwashed desperate youths to fall for them. Never have we failed as nations as we are now. The word Palestine for a second, soothes the bleeding wounds in our souls, and brings us back to different, and good old times.

If the name Palestine is the only peaceful way to resist the incomprehensible fact of the never-ending land annexation and occupation, so be it.
Its name is Palestine
........till the end of time, till its liberation, or till we die and the next generations see the long awaited return of the people of the land happening.
