    It means “The first in Zion”…

    Zionism began in 1860s

    Petach Tikva was founded in 1878

    And Rishon was Founded in 1882

    So not even the first in this bullshit.

    it was before the Balfour declaration during the Ottoman rule, so the land for that place was bought from local arab authorities… unlike most other settlements that were founded after the British took over, and definitely all settlements after the Nakba…

    Feel free to hate that place, just giving historical context, because I’m bored
