Jabo A "Palestinian"?

For those who were members of the Betar youth movement or the senior Revisionist Movement or the Herut party, Ze'ev Jabotinsky was known affectionately as "Jabo".

And what have I found?

This:

...The Israeli ambulance services told Jabo that because his house fell inside a militarized zone, they would not be able to help. With time running out, Jabo and his nephew decided to carry her to hospital. They had gone just 200m when she died.

"It would have taken two minutes for an ambulance to get here from Jerusalem. It used to take me three minutes to get to Bethlehem but since the wall was finished, it takes at least half an hour," Jabo, 50, told IRIN.

The Jabos are among 80 villagers in Tantour...

You just never know.
