[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.

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
