My roommate set type for an English monthly paper about Palestine that called the Palestinians "West Bankers" and "Gaza Strippers." I was writing a novel, and no sooner would I say that to anyone, American or French, then I would hear back that I wanted to relive Fitzgerald and Hemingway, but it wasn't so, and besides I'd never much liked Fitzgerald or Hemingway, but when...

We should also tell 2% million Palestinian Arabs that they have the right to self-determination in a state east of ours including the West Bank and Gaza." Eliav would retain Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem but expand the growing city by taking in Ramallah in the north and Bethlehem in the south.
