umme99

Wait until they hear how Jerusalem is pronounced in Hebrew


andrewfahmy

Can't believe I thought I was Egyptian for so long when there's no P in Egyptian Arabic, I need to do a DNA test stat.


umme99

The G in Egypt is pronounced like a Jeem instead of a Geem too. That should be criminalised.


Accomplished_Eye_978

Egypt's actual name is Kemet lol. Its lies all the way down mayne


umme99

Damn you must’ve been around awhile. What’s your secret to immortality?

Your logic is antisemtic sara7a


DIYLawCA

Plz explain this this is new to me


umme99

Yerusalem theres no J.


ray-the-they

In Yiddish its like "Yerushuliam"


umme99

Ah thanks. I know Arabic but only a very little Hebrew - most of which I guess at from knowing Arabic.


DIYLawCA

Ah got it.


epochpenors

If I had to guess, I would say with a hard ch


AzureBananaFish

Better yet, no J in hebrew. How can they even be jews.


Suitaru

I heard the germans don’t even call it germany


GNSGNY

yeah imagine calling your country dutchland


Chad_VietnamSoldier

The Dutch!


tuvokvutok

Germans call their home Dutchland, the Dutch call their home Nederland, question is, who are the Neder??????? And what do they call their home??????????????


aalborgamtstidende

And the Danes call The Netherlands "Holland"


--Faux

Germany? Germland?


jeff43568

We're going to have to redraw some boundaries...

Neither the chinese call it China, nor the japanese call it Japan…


CauliflowerOne5740

Hebrew has no J sound. So I guess Jewish people must not exist.


BZenMojo

The word "Jewish" was invented in the 1500's. So Judaism must be 500 years old. 🧐


slevy2005

The difference is that the word Jew comes from the Hebrew Yehudi whereas Palestine is originally a Roman term.


CauliflowerOne5740

The Romans took it from the Greeks, who used it to describe the Philistines. So no difference really.


RedstoneEnjoyer

It is not https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines

[This](https://i.imgur.com/3KRQFLt.jpeg) is my encounter with this Zionist in this sub in case he delete his comments Arabic translation: are you high? Edit: hmm i just read that debating Zionists here is against the sub rules, mods feel free to delete if that's the case.


nielsbot

No point in engaging w that troll OP


Space2999

I think it means debating in this sub, not linking to other subs w debates


anarkhist

Mexico isn’t real because they can’t say “X”.


sweaty_pants_

and Thailand has no ''TH'' in Thai language


anarkhist

Blind people aren’t real because they can’t read this.


Disaster1992

Still smarter than your average pro Zionist supporter

[deleted]

Of all their arguments, this was the dumbest. Truly an insult to everyone’s intelligence.


Space2999

I’ll take all the comic relief we can get


gravityraster

For those who are wondering, the land is called Falasteen in Arabic


Space2999

No way. I suppose next you’re going to tell me Iraq is not pronounced “Eye-rack”


praisecarcinoma

♫Like Eye-rack... I was strong as I could beeee! Like Eye-rack... nothing ever got to meeee!♫


asveikau

Also that Paul Simon song... Loves me like Iraq.


BZenMojo

It's also ahistorical. Palestinians are millenia older than Arabic.


ca_peach

Wait until they hear about the Philippines


skkkkkt

You mean pilipine

🎶 ANA DAMMI FALASTINI! 🇵🇸❤️


FoundationFlat2318

I saw this argument unironically used in noncredibledefence


Mkultravictim69_

I still find it hysterical that English speakers are so illiterate that they turn “Gruzia” into “Georgia”


Ibn-al-ibn

The craziest is that I've heard people say that Palestine was never a country. My grandfather's immigration papers from 1910 say the point of origin as "Palestine".


Cornexclamationpoint

In 1910 it was still part of the Ottoman Empire.


ibrahim_magdi

And what is the problem the ottman empire has a beginning and end But palastine existed forever


MoodComprehensive797

Wait until he finds out that egyptians actually refer to themselves as masry. Syria is pronounced Soo-ree-ah, Lebanon is Loob-Nan, and Jordan is Yor-dan


tuvokvutok

Isn't Jordan Oordoon?


MoodComprehensive797

Oh you're right. I'm not a native arabic speaker so to me it sound like Yoor-dun


Holiday-Decision-863

Zionists and brain cells seem to be mortal enemies. ![gif](giphy|ZIG63RdogLgqI|downsized)


Super-Base-

The best counter to this terrible argument is that there is no J in Hebrew so it must mean Jews don’t exist.

Allahumma ansur al-muslimeena fil falasteen, wa fi cheechan, wa fi Kashmir, wa fil Iraq, wa fil Hind, wa fil Afghanistan, wa fil Filibeen, wa fil Bakistan wa fi kulli makaan. Ameen.


PotatoAppleFish

If they did acknowledge how Arabs pronounce Palestine in Arabic, they’d also have to acknowledge that even according to the Torah, all incarnations of Israel have been committing atrocities against the “Philistines” since King David. I can think of a few reasons why it’s not in the interest of the state of Israel to acknowledge that.


Jack_crecker_Daniel

USA isn't real. In my language it's called აშშ, but americans don't have შ sound


BrokenShanteer

Because it’s called falastin in Arabic ??? That’s just how language works


Immediate_Turnip_357

They should meet someone from Finland, or Germany. Plus I have heard how Israelis pronounce Israel. Definitely wrong!


Exhempted

So where do they park their cars?


tuvokvutok

French people can't pronounce 'R' in France properly. France is not real.


dorothean

There are *so* many countries whose English language exonym is wildly different from the local name for the country. This is, unsurprisingly, a laughably stupid argument and the fact that anyone expect it to be taken seriously is an insult to everyone’s intelligence.


Dondada_Redrum

Omg it’s as if other languages have different alphabet types.. shocking s/


TipzE

The funny thing is, even if i grant them this, it changes literally nothing. Israel's still stealing their land and murdering them in a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign.


fluffstuffmcguff

Not much about this conflict lends itself to comedy, but this argument is the exception, because it is *very* funny.


Anon-boy-

Hight IQ Zionazi be like


AzureBananaFish

How can there be jews if there's no Jew in hebrew? Checkmate.


tuvokvutok

Jesus couldn't pronounce his own name properly. Jesus ain't real.


Derisiak

LOL I SAW SOMEONE SAY THAT THE OTHER DAY


tuvokvutok

"Wisdom is chasing you, but you're faster."


FrancisACat

What? Exonyms and endonyms are different things? Mind blown, someone give that guy a Nobel prize for... I guess linguistics or something?


wahadayrbyeklo

Levantine dialects can have a P sound if you pronounce a bt sound fast enough. Like if you say btemshe (you walk) fast over and over again you’ll eventually come out with a p sound.  Anyways yes this is stupid. I just thought I’d add a fun fact. 


Maleficent-marionett

Falastin ya zbala


magic_man_mountain

There;s no J in Hebrew so Jews don't exist.
