Picking oranges in Jaffa 🇵🇸

Do you know that Jaffa oranges, for Palestinians, are a very strong symbol of their land as after 1948, oranges began to represent the lost ancestral homeland!

They developed the Jaffa orange, which was for a long time Israel's flagship agricultural product.

They also invented most all Hebrew swear words. If the Jews were natives and the Palestinians immigrants, it would have been Hebrew cursewords that would have entered Arabic.
