#Video - Haifa, Israel city council member Sally Abed defends right to speak Arabic
[from #MiddleEastEye on #Telegram]
https://t.me/MiddleEastEye_TG/21433#Haifa city council member #SallyAbed faced abuse on Tuesday for speaking #Arabic during a council meeting.
One man is heard telling her to “go to Gaza”, and that “Haifa is not Arab, Haifa is Jewish”.
Abed pushed back, insisting that it is legal for her to speak her language.
[Sally Abed is a prominent member of the Arab/Jewish group #StandingTogether in #Israel.]

In many client apps of the Fediverse micro-blogging, I could see that there is no option for languages including Kadazandusun, Iban, Bidayuh, Rungus. Please don't tell me that the Fediverse is inclusive.

Thanks to the Linguistic Society of America for this response to the recent attempt of the U.S. government to make English the official language of the U.S. We have not had an official language until now, and do not need one. I enjoy teaching this topic whenever I get to teach an intro course. https://www.lsadc.org/lsa-statement-against-designating-english-as-the-official-language #USPol #LanguageRights #LSA
