Zusammenfassung:	The Middle Eastern American Advisory Group, the Office of Community Partnerships and the Arab Americans of Montgomery County hosted a celebration of Arab American heritage on Apr 20, 2024, at the county's Executive Office Building. The number of Marylanders who claim Arab ancestry has more than doubled since the census first measured ethnic origins in 1980, and is among the fastest growing Arab populations in the country. Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich read proclamations declaring the month of April Arab American heritage month and stayed to listen to a very sobering description of Israe's war on Gaza by Khaled Elgindy of the Middle East Institute.
