Must Mona al Tahawy keep reminding us that she lived in Israel "As a Jerusalem-based Reuters correspondent in 1998..." at every opportunity? So what? I've worked illegally as a bagel baker in the US for 6 months but you don't see me brag about it.

u did? that's "awesome!" ;)
illegally becauseu had no visa or because it was bagels?
:)
Yazan,
Yep, even been denied entry back in because I overstayed my "welcome" :) I came back and the little spanish I knew was with a latino accent so the first time I met spaniards they got VERY confused. It was good to stick my middle finger at "The Man" and toil with the masses, I was very fortunate.
Lirun,
The bagels were actually great, it was one of the better bakeries there.
I really want to like Mona elTahawy alot more than I do, but her writing is just kind of bland. I like Eteraz a lot more as a columnist.
nice..
where i live in yaffo.. we have a bunch of all night bakeries that work around the clock.. and they make bagels of the boiled kind..
you can pick up a hot steamy salt or sesame bagel at all crazy hours..
i so need a diet right now..
Mona El-Tahawy is disgrace to Egypt and Egyptians. I think that her nationality must be dropped. Wonder if Naser were alive, how he would have handled that creep:)
i 'd like to hear your opinions. why is she so bad..
we have a similar lady called amira hass.. her stuff enrages me.. but i am always interested to hear what she has to say (always reminding us she lives in gaza hehe) she is the spear-head of our self-criticism.. why is self criticism not good..
sorry lived..
when is self criticism not good or good...ends up being like 90% of the discussions i wind up in these days.
what do you think is not good about her?
i think she's attractive and interesting :)
That's what I figured ;)
hahahah
