While so much of Christian Europe was busy obsessing over the 'Jewish question' (which should be called 'we don't know how to deal with the Other because our conception of identity barely moved beyond the toddler stage of philosophy' but that's too long).

And because of the anarchist-y bits in me, I do not take the nation state for granted. This means that I have no problem learning how to make sense of my own Lebanese/Palestinian/Levantine family's history of displacement by reading Benjamin or Levi or Arendt etc.
