I assume that's Greek. Don't know Greek. My father never taught me.

As for the word Arab for a Jew - it is really a semantic matter. You see, when say "Arab" usually people means"Muslim". Even the Muslims themselves.One would say he is an Arab even if he lives in USA, meaning he is a Muslim.

Correctly speaking, Arab is only one who was born in Saudi Arabia. Being Muslim/Jew/Christian or else. All the rest are - Syrians, Jordanians, Israelis etc.

The Jews in Syria have Arab culture, as the ones who live in Europe ,or elsewhere, and have - naturally- the local culture. Still, they also practice Judaism, naturally too.:)

Hakim is the name of my x-husband, ho was born in Syria. No Arab-Jewish background though :):)

Hakim means also - doctor, I assume this is the name's origin since there were doctors in the family.

Knowing your history and being open to the history of other's are equally important.

You have a very interesting profile as well.

Best,

Freeman

I don't think that there is rape in the sense of raping women - this seems to be out of question (and I hope so!) - but youngsters and boys who are in their hands... Nothing is (yet) completely clear in the articles I read (you'll see), but what they say is very close to it, and also explain why most things aren't spoken out (in public)...

I send you the links in messages.

Wish you a great day,

Samira
