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”.
