Israeli Orientalism: what does takfiri mean? And how deep is Zionist ignorance of the Middle East?

"conquered from the "takfiris" (the infidels, a combination of Arabic and English, as Hezbollah refers to the rebels in Syria)".  I don't know what he means by the combination of Arabic and English as the word Takfiri and takfiriyyin has no English in it. Secondly, takfiri means someone who engages in takfir (which means the declaration of the infidelity of others). So when Hizbollah refers to those as takfiri he is not calling them infidels, you bright one, but complaining about their practice of referring to others as infidels. Got it? Or do you need yet another course in Zionist Orientalism?
