      Google translates that as "We were sleeping, and we were not sleeping", as well as saying she's Alexandria Occasion Cortel from the Losing Sector.

      I don't know the least bit of Arabic and even I was going "isn't the letters supposed to be joined together?"

    Could they have hired 1 Arabic speaker? Aren't there any professional translators that'll work for em? It's like a 10 minute job. All those people who were translators for the military in countries across the ME and Afghanistan and yet they can't find one.

    pathetic

      From what I've heard from Arabic speakers working for the democrats is (big shock) they are really racist and ignorant towards them and tend to drive them out.

      Given how hard the Americans fought against allowing any people from Iraq and Afghanistan to seek refuge in America, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Arabic speakers who want to work with the Democrats is a rapidly dwindling number.

          I am well aware of that fact that Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic. However the invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan required the recruitment of a lot of locals who were able to translate for the occupational authorities. Said translators then had their applications for asylum denied in most of the West, despite being a pretty important cog in the imperial machine, because the west chose to prioritize domestic political concerns over the welfare of the people who had risked their lives to help them. Sorry if my last sentence seems too lib, but the way these people were so easily discarded was an important part of my radicalization and leftward movement.

    I can't read arabic, but that looks wrong somehow. Aren't the letters supposed to be joined together? I remember learning the sounds at one point. It kinda looks like the thai script actually.

      Also note that the arabic is ass, it's the equivalent to "You're winner!"
