text: OK... and what is your point? Call them by any other name, they are still the indigenous people of the region. Zionism was a European political philosophy, and it was Jewish emigration from Europe to Palestine (yes that was its name) in the 19th and 20th centuries that led to the creation of the modern State of Israel. 
  
  For example, one Benzion was born in Poland in 1910, where the family had lived for generations with the family name Mileikowsky. 
  
  On immigrating to Palestine, they changed the name to "Netanyahu". Benzion's son is now PM. What long, Jewish connection to the land does that family hold, compared to a Palestinian Christian or Arab who has lived there for generations?
