Nationality الجنسية
For better or for worse, having a nationality is probably a better deal than not, given the 'state' of the Palestinians, the 'Bedouns' (withouts) of Kuwait, and so many Gypsies or refugees that live on the fringes of belonging by the definition of 'nationality' (-Ed) "Let me begin by a saying i love and believe in "Nationalism is a disease" .

Google Translate hacked again - Lebanon will not lose a war
still on the anniversary of the Lebanese Civil War: "Two months ago, Google translate was hacked when people noticed that trying to translate “Israel will vanish/destroy/disappear” to Arabic was not translated properly. It seems that this has happened again, this time the winner is on the other side of the Lebanese/Israeli border."
