The Lebanese ambassador to France invited prominent Jewish expatriates to a meeting in Paris last month where he encouraged them to register to vote as citizens. Most ignored the plea, and according to published lists, only 14 Jewish expats are eligible to vote in the next Lebanese elections. 16 registered but to were disqualified after an audit. The sixteen included 13 from Europe, 2 from Latin America and 1 from Africa.
The most interesting part of the article is perhaps how the Lebanese newspaper described the Jews. It consistently used the word "Israeli" instead of "Jew."
