    if you choose to believe that Hamas is not antisemitic that’s your prerogative. I only note that so long as there is a hatred of Jews the word is being used correctly.

      I hear both (non-settler) Jews and Christians live in Gaza, that wouldn’t be possible if Hamas was all about Jew hating…

            After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jews of Mandatory Palestine became Israeli citizens, and the term Palestinian Jews has largely fallen into disuse and is somewhat defunct, in favour of the modern term Israeli Jews.

            It says in the wiki article that they became Israeli citizens. What are you on about?

              Yet people still claim the label “Palestinian Jew” - are we to deny their claim to belief?

                (Different commenter here.)

                I’ve heard there are a few Jews living among the Arab population of the West Bank. I’ve heard nothing about Jews living in Gaza except for Israeli colonists who have since moved out. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that non-colonist Jews would live in the occupied territories, because they are free to move to Israel by virtue of being Jews.

                There is a small population of Arab Christians living in Gaza, and I would assume in the West Bank as well, though I can’t recall hearing about them specifically.
