Palis is a racial slur used by Israelis to describe Palestinians. It's not just a shortened version of Palestinians........it's used with contempt, anger and outward hatred. This is often seen in racist comments by Israelis on line, especially in the Jerusalem Post comment sections.

Get the Palis mug.It's a..... "Charm Word"?
Is that what you call it?
Well, it's just a phrase you could occasionally hear Sabahans say when they fear that something might happen.
Usually a bad thing.
It's like a phrase to repel a jinx.
At the same time, people might "knock" on something while they say this.
And there's another variant:
-Palis-palis, jauh-jauh
"Jauh" meant "far".
Since it's pluralised, then it means either "far away" or "go away".
And idk what "palis-palis" means.
