This is an irresponsible paragraph by @shira_rubin in the @washingtonpost. The Arabic word “sabaya” doesn’t have sexual connotations. This is playing on racist and orientalist tropes about Arabs and Muslims. Relying on the fabricated IDF “translation” of the word isn’t journalism pic.twitter.com/eOU1tIHtMB
