"Attention: you are in Baniyas, not in Israel. Down with the system!"
The translation is maybe a bit imprecise. It's not a question but a statement: "You are in Banyas, not in Israel". In red one discerns Shbaiha, name of one of the armed militias in Northern Syria.

ReplyDeleteYes, Tom Milo's rendering is more precise whereas I was trying to capture the irony. I concede to precision and have changed the wording.
