David sent me this: "
This is David again; I saw this headline (originally reported by Reuters) in Haaretz which irked me to no end:
"Iranian-Hindi shipping firm faces collapse due to sanctions"
I
am of Indian origin (albeit I don't really identify myself with this
non-state; there are several states within India which expressed a
desire to secede as you probably know), but to state that a country or
its residents is "Hindi"??? This reminds me of my American friends who
sometimes mistake the Hindi language for This is not a typo and when an
Israeli news agency mis-labels a sovereign state as one of the many
languages spoken in
India it reflects a very deep and real ignorance that Israelis have of
the world. But, then again, this is nothing new within the Zionist
entity; if one can deny the existence of Palestinians, once can
definitely change the name of a country.
The name of the shipping company is 'Irano-Hind'; I guess they put two and two together and arrived at eight. Good E'en."
