Revenant. Demonym.

I had long ago championed the term of revenant instead of settler as in 

“he is a revenant resident of Judea and Samaria.

Now it has been suggested to me to add


A noun with a mid-19th century origin used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc.

It identifies a native of a certain geographical place or ethnic group. The term was resurrected in the 1990s as a descriptor of residency.

What say you?

“Revenant” is used in fantasy games and horror novels to describe an undead creature that has “returned” to a horrific sort of partial life in which it preys on the living. Using that term to describe Zionists would be the biggest own-goal imaginable.
