        I know people, here in Lebanon, with the last name Israel, who are older than the terrorist state.

        Maybe more people here would be accepting of Jewish people if the only Jewish people they ever met hadn’t been soldiers at checkpoints in the 1980s pointing guns at their faces.

        Right right. And sometimes we change names of things because the state of the world is different than it was. Or we don’t.
