• Technopols — Grinberg’s term (following Williamson) for state experts, economic and military, who intervene in decision-making as apolitical professionals, shrinking political space in counter-mo(ve)ments.
• Territorial Expansion — The settler-state’s third characteristic and Zionism’s unfinished business in Sayegh: expansion towards all of Eretz Israel.
• Territorialism — The Zionist current seeking colonization territories outside Palestine without opposing settlement there; Oppenheimer’s camp.
• Textual attitude — Said’s term for preferring the schematic authority of a text to direct encounters, the attitude behind Napoleon’s Egypt and analyzed in Chapter One, IV of Orientalism.
• Third World — The SNCC Newsletter’s framing, in its June-July 1967 Third World Round Up feature, of Afro-Americans as an integral part of the Third World (Africa, Asia, Latin America, American Indians and all persons of African descent), so world struggles relate directly to the struggle at home.
• Timar — Ottoman land-revenue grant to sipahi officers, dispersed and annually renewable, whose holders settled in Nablus after 1657 and founded its ruling families, in Doumani’s account.

• Triangular Thread — The PDMA member’s term for the Yishuv’s three-armed national coalition of Zionist institutions, manufacturers’ association and Labor movement, under which private capital was free but submissive to the Zionist agenda.
• Tribal Channeling — Grinberg’s term for ethnic misrepresentation channeling fear, hostility and vengefulness to prevent direct debate on ethnic claims, born at the Wadi Salib riots.
• Two narratives — The paradigm of the conflict as two opposed national narratives, which Bernard argues flattened Said’s ‘permission to narrate’ into liberal balance.
