I don't know about Nadia Hilu, you could ask her.<BR/>The term "Arab Israeli" is considered derogative and insulting by many. Invented by the authorities in order to drive a wedge between Palestinians from Israel and their brothers and sisters from the occupied territories and from the Palestinian diaspora all over the world.yudithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694345940567222710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15659738.post-39843578840362927752007-11-17T22:05:00.000+02:002007-11-17T22:05:00.000+02:00Hello, I am visiting Tel Aviv for work and visited...Hello, I am visiting Tel Aviv for work and visited Old Jaffa yesterday and today, Its very beatiful, I was searching for some information about Jaffa and I found your blog.<BR/><BR/>Well nothings is as good as it seems, I know that the Arab people are having hard time.
