besides this i am not sure what exactly this map supposed to show. 30 years before that this area was called "province syria palestina" and was part of ottoman empire for hundreds of years
- nick_ 1y agoQuick question: what are Arabs who live in Israel called?
- tguvot 1y agoi recently read paper on their self identification. Rather recent. iirc split is something like: - Israeli Arabs : 30%-40% - Palestinian Arabs: 30%-40% - Palestinians: 10%-15% - Christian Arabs: 5%-10% - Etc : 5% Guy that I spent two years with in same room was self identifying as "Arab, Orthodox Christian, Communist". Those who live in west bank have more permutations of identities, with some of them mostly identifying with their clan or religion
