Does anyone know Arabic well enough to check my script?

I'm not sure how long this will last on other platforms because it depicts "hate". Curious to know if you guys find it offensive. I think the loss of 3 (potentially 6) wishes speaks to the idiocy of this xenophobia, but I feel increasingly out of touch about what is offensive.

I think the gag depends too much on the hat; e.g. the 4th panel could be interpreted as dad giving lesson in self-reliance without full cultural context. Maybe: add dad to 1st panel looking expectant (maybe envisioning riches/women/fame), ditch 4th panel? I think that would emphasize the "oh shit it's an ARABIC genie" aspect.

What if the kid wishes for a border wall and winds up stuck inside while the country burns around him? Or is that too on the nose?
