By Bernard J. Shapiro Israel is being defeated linguistically every day in the pages of newspapers, in the news broadcasts, even in the speeches of political leaders and State Department officials. Even many Jews fall into the trap of using the accepted anti-Israel language. We must start using the correct language to describe events in Israel. That goes for the Israeli government spokesman as well as private pro-Israel groups like ours.
Terrorists attack Jewish civilian and are killed in firefight .
Innocent Jew attacked by Arab mob. Jew is survives due to courageous action. Arafat, a documented liar and terrorist murderer, tried to blame Israel for the breakdown in peace talks. We need to be linguistically aggressive and accurate all the time. Call a spade a spade.
