"the State of Israel", not "Israel", see Disambiguation.

[edit] Quotes

Wouldn't it be more helpful to have actual quotes from people opposed to Israel's existence using the phrase, rather than people attacking people who oppose Israel's existence? I'm sure that there are people who use the phrase to describe Israel, but from the quotes here, it makes it seem as if the phrase is only used in polemics against those who deny Israel's legitimacy. --Jfruh (talk) 18:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

The account of the term's origin is unsourced, and I believe, wrong. This URL [1] gives a 1947 Arabic usage translated as "Zionist Entity." The reference to the Rogers plan is mysterious and wrong, at that date the US just thought the West Bank should go to Jordan, so I removed it.John Z 08:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Lack of sources isn't a reason to delete a whole section and replace it with nothing. The use of the term by the PFLP in 1969 is earliest I have been able to find in English and I think this is relevant information. The article is now just a list of quotes denouncing the use of the term. This is POV, not to mention useless and irrelevent. Kauffner 07:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
