For those of us who don’t speak any Arabic, the title for this post actually means: “Arabic or Hebrew . . . what’s the difference?”
The title came to me while I was quickly reading an article and I accidentally confused the words “Hebrew” and “Arabic.”
They look so similar, but are so inherently different (the difference is one letter) and I found myself saying: “Why are they going to change the names of Arab cities to Arab names?”
That’s because it’s not Arabic they’re going them change it to; it’s Hebrew.
