Father[edit]

@Makeandtoss: when it says “His father was a traditional man” does that mean he was from a Bedouin family? Onceinawhile (talk) 20:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: Not necessarily but yes he was a Bedouin. I meant to say that he was conservative. The source used the term traditional.Makeandtoss (talk) 21:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think then it shouldn’t be juxtaposed with the location of his mother’s birth. Putting them in the same sentence makes it look like it’s speaking in “code” with the real meaning being that Sboul’s heritage was half Jordanian Bedouin and half Palestinian.
