Majdi's response to me [April 25]

Rebecca, I just want to say that I understand kind of what you mean although...I just wanted to point out that East Jerusalem is the Arab Palestinian side. I would know that because that is where about 95% of my family live.As for the soldiers, ..Allah has granted to each his eyes for whom the body and mind see things to each his/her own way. In the subject of the reference to the soldiers, I don't know if she was actually writing sarcasm. I think she was more of trying to put light of the situation by being humorous. And in case you were curious (but i'm sure you know), soldiers do racially profile Palestinians, or anyone who isn't "Israeli"...hence the point of the Passports, or Jerusalem Identification that Suad was writing about ...
