Keeping us informed about the Middle East

30 January 2007

Does anyone else notice something, umm, missing from this AP article about Israel’s first Muslim Cabinet minister? Did the reporter and editor just have too much to drink that day, or something?

(PS: on the general topic of Israeli Muslims in public service, see the Head Heeb on Ali Yahya, the first Arab to win the Israel prize and the former Israeli ambassador to Finland.)

• Later: Frivolity
• Earlier: The people have spoken, damn them
