Euskal Herria stands for the Vasconia concept or Basque Country as anthropological and cultural space that includes, Euskadi, Navarre & French Basque Country. It has been used so since the XVI century in the first documents written in Basque by natives of the territories you just mention such as Juan Pérez de Lazarraga (Alava), Joanes Leizarraga (French BC) or Axular (Navarre). Old invention if so. Obviously imperialistic media keep you 100% ignorant on the subject.

It's not an Arabic language. The muslims are trying to seek help wherever they can. Basque has nothing to do with Arabic

Basques are from ancient Greek origin. Besides, Greeks founded the South France coast and cities like Maseille and Monaco. Corsicans are from Greek origin, too.

@nanako0590 You are really getting old with your wrong and stupid comment, stick to your own business and don't post this erroneous crap.

[nanako0590]

No, this is basque language, comes from Maghreb, it's a kind of an arabized berber language (amazigh) imported during the invasion of Rome by Hannibal. In fact blood rh factor is the same in both areas and from the 13th century onwards the country has seen a massive migration of Banu Hilal Arab tribes . It's been spoken in Southern Europe, not too far from Africa..

Many times those claimingpatriotism end up killing more of their own people.It seems that those "patriots" just want an excuse to kill and get their joy out their violent rage.

If disgracefully these so called patriots end up getting their "independence" you can see how these so called patriots turn into tyrants making people bleed under their power.......The pro independence just do not want anyone to supervice their oppresion and corruption. Otherwise why the supremacy racialism???

Sure it's not an Arabic language, you are right, as right as me when Isay that there isn't one person more stupid than you ;) Sionist leaders are like Nazis, no one could believe in 1940 that they'd do what they have used to give themselves the right to get in Palestine. Palestine, Euskal Herria is with you always, no matter what stupids like this could say. You have to be ONE, don't let'em divide you!!!
