I was incorrect in referring to her as a Lebanese American - she is an American and proud
yes, correct. American rather than Lebanese
my family is Lebanese, with Orthodox father & Maronite mother
generally, intelligent & sensitive Lebanese have seen their once jewel of a nation ripped apart by the creation of Israel
the creation of Israel resulted in mass refugees of Palestinians, who were often persecuted in nations like Jordan so the Lebanese took them in, which resulted in the divisive politics in a once generally harmonious nation
I would suggest the speaker is more than a mere "American" or "Lebanese"
