She was raped and murdered in Australia.
Really?
The Guardian has adopted the trope:
The Victorian police have charged a 20-year-old man with the murder of Palestinian student Aiia Maasarwe.
But not even Israeli citizen.
No.
She was Israeli Arab.
Despite this:
The 21-year-old was Palestinian, yet because of the title of her passport, she was described in news reports as Israeli or Arab-Israeli — terms she and her family, like many Palestinians, reject. It’s a commonly forgotten distinction, but one her family was determined to have recognised. Ms Maasarwe’s family shared that the young woman killed in a terrifying unprovoked attack last week identified as Palestinian Arab, but the correction did not immediately flow through.
Are Jordanians, a country geographically in 'Historic Palestine', then "Palestinians"?
Are not Jews "Palestinians" or only Arabs are?
This is simply erasing Jewish national identity.
