While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.
Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.
Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.
PHILOLOGY DU JOUR
Many Arabic names are mostly found among Christian Levantines & less frequently the Muslim: Turns out, these are simply translations from the Greek.
Atallah (Theodosius), Mounir (Luca, Photius), Jamil (Kallistatus), Afif (Sophronius), Shafik (Germanus), Fares (Philip), Najib (Gregorius).
Although Arabic, these names are often used to figure out the person's sect.
