@mufastamo Imagine an American claiming that the name Manhattan is erasure of the city name of New York. Whose history is being erased by such a claim?
@mufastamo And more to the point:
1. Jaffa is mentioned four times in the Hebrew Bible, as a city opposite the territory given to the Hebrew Tribe of Dan
@mufastamo 2. Nazareth: "Jesus of Nazareth" appears seventeen times in English translations of the New Testament, whereas the Greek original contains the form "Jesus the Nazarēnos" or "Jesus the Nazōraios."
@mufastamo 3. The name "Hebron" traces back to Hebrew root, in the form ḥbr, with a basic sense of 'unite' and connoting "friend". In the proper name Hebron, the original sense may have been alliance.

@Norfolkbound22 explains that the Irish obsessive focus on the Jewish state stems from "the Irish's understanding of the political and military actions of an occupier."
