#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.

⚠️ "It’s not just language; it’s a map of erasure." Analysing the #Taliban's shift to Pashto as a tool for total exclusion. A warning to non-Pashtuns: The removal of #Farsi—the civilizational bridge—is the prelude to silencing all independent voices. Unity is the only defense. 🇦🇫🚫
