Underneath the Veil

Sorry to use such a cliche title, but I did so in jest. Almost every publication about Arab women throws in the word veil.

A very nice profile of three female, Arab film directors appeared in today's Christian Science Monitor, the only somewhat worldly American newspaper. I am yet to see any of their work, but I will the first chance I get.

Ibtisam Maraana is kind of hot, in a "I'll cut your heart out" kind of way. How could anyone tell she's "Israeli Arab" and not just Israeli, though? If I had to guess, I'd have guessed she was Jewish. So confusing. It's be so much easier for people to butcher each-other if they at least looked different, wouldn't it? :O
