1. Her daughter is named “Zahra.”
2. Her arabic tattoo
3. And now this potential political scandal she could cause for visiting Syria (here I am reminded of the vociferious criticism and wide media coverage Congressional Nancy Pelosi received for chilling out with Bashar all Hijabi-style (btw-why do Western women do in his “axis of evil” state).
She clearly wants to be Arab
I rest my case
Look at the poor toothless souls, they were so in need of seeing a mega-gorgeous American movie star. The uber-celebrity, acting as a goodwill ambassador, visited Iraqi refugee camps in Syria and along the Iraqi border to alert UNHCR about the humanitarian crisis. According to the International Herald Tribune, the UN estimates that Syria has taken in 1.4 million Iraqi refugees.
Exhibiting the best display of twisted justice, Syria permits Iraqi refugees to settle in the country, but bans the significant population of Palestinian Iraqis from entering. These are the refugees who are stranded at the border.
But the real story here is the story cowardly, major mainstream publications have shied away from discussing, but here at KABOBfest, we are no stranger to courageous, sometimes unpopular, reporting. Our philosophy is that it is worth it to cover the truth.
Jolie’s fashion selection:
I mean, why exactly is she wearing a bulletproof-looking vest with a so totally unfashionable fannypack-like pouch on the front of it in 100 degree weather and in refugee camps? I mean, it’s not like she’s guarding Bashar’s palace or one of the 500 ministry offices in Damascus. And a Kuffiyah wrapped around her head in Sudan? Doesn’t she know that the kuffiyah, as imagined by Western fashionistas, is only acceptable worn around the neck or, as the ever-innovative Justin Timberlake showed screaming teens at last week’s VMA, in one’s pocket! Puh-lease, even Mary-Kate wouldn’t go as far to wear the scarf for it’s intended purpose!
*As a self-absorbed sidenote: Why do I miss all the cool Western celebrities by a hair in Syria!!! Enrique first and now Angelina!

LOL interesting post but I don’t think she wants to be arab she actually temporarily adopts the local ways of everywhere she is, if anything I’d say she wants to be east asian!
About the fashion sense…..it’s generally understood that celebrities (especially actors/actresses) have naturally have horrible fashion taste without the services of their assistants/wardrobe consultants-they’re artsy fartsy people
Posted by Asoom | September 15, 2007, 10:48 pmis “al-3azima” on her wrist the edgy, trendier version of the yellow “livestrong” plastic bracelet thing? it has a similar meaning. but enough about celebrities. my father went to palestine as a young lad, and all he got was an small 1/2 inch X, tatooed on the top part of his hand bu a bedouin woman who was sitting on the sidewalk, giving tatoos to people.
Posted by Ibn Bint Jbeil | September 16, 2007, 7:39 amOkay that is fucked up, Angelina DOESN'T want to be arabic- Zahara is an african name idiot, Just because she has an arabic tattoo doesn't prove she wants to fully become arabic. I have a japanese tattoo for strength, does that mean I want to be japanese? No it just means that I (Angelina as well) respect other cultures and feel that they have symbols of power that mabye America doesn't. She gives a lot to the world and donates millions to countries in need. What have you done besides sit at home and blast good people. Get a life. Okay so don't fucking say that cause it is disrespectful. Why the hell do you think that is okay to say. Oh and if you ever get a tattoo from another culture, you are such a fucking hypocrite.
Posted by Sam | July 9, 2009, 10:26 pmOh and the resaon she is wearing that bulletproof-looking vest is for protection, it can be dangerous there. And when she wears a vail or sweater she is being respectful to their culture, jerk.

Posted by Kimber Sha | March 26, 2010, 1:02 amAlways interested in hearing about her. Angelina is amazing. A celebrity I both respect and love. Look forward to seeing her new film. The popart painting I bought of her is freakin’ awesome and will be kept forever!
Posted by Gabriel Taylor | July 5, 2010, 9:02 amBritney does it again in her latest track Hold It Against Me. Dr. Luke’s and Max Martin’s rough backbeat fits nicely with Britney’s electric vocals. This track just makes me want to dance.
