'Israeli' is used for a citizen of Israel since it became a country in 1948. 'Isrealite' refers to the inhabitants of ancient Israel who belonged to one of the tribes of Israel. There were no Israelis before 1948.

I think you need to air blast your keyboard Lewis. You've got crumbs under the "r" & "s", I think.
Thanks, and you are right. It's a new laptop and sometimes you really have to pound them. I usually catch it, but not always. Don't get a Toshiba.
