Talk:Chaim Topol
From Academic Kids
IN 1935, there was no such state as Israel. I'm guessing that at the time of Topol's birth, his birthplace was called Palestine. Should this be acknowledged, and can anyone confirm either way? JackofOz 09:11, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking you are correct, but the convention is to write Israel in such cases. For example, my mother was born in 1943, but her passport and all official documents, including international documents, list "Israel" as her country of birth. --Woggly 09:44, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
