No! The recurrent pattern of exclusionism that ignores internal diversity, cultural pluralism and the multilayered historical contexts is the paradox. Ethnic homogeneity is a myth and a major source of instability. It completely misrepresents and misinterprets our human nature.

Cultivated in Mount Lebanon since many centuries, perhaps native… delicious, low in calories, rich in fibers and it is in season (Jujube=3nnab)
