One of Instapundit’s past girlfriends describes her recent adventure getting hair spray in the Palestinian section of Jerusalem.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, we were staying at the Ambassador Hotel in the Palestinian section. I ran out of hairspray, so I went down to the front desk to inquire as to where I might find a pharmacy. They gave us directions, and Steve and I walked about a mile. We found the pharmacy closed, but there was a Beauty Salon right next door, so we went in. Eight women leaped up and started yelling that “lalalalalala” sound, and screaming that Steve couldn’t be in there! They were Muslim women, with their headcoverings off because they were having their hair done. Poor Steve RAN out into the street, and the women invited me for coffee and sold me a can of the best hairspray I’ve ever used. It was one of the high points of my trip, but not one of Steve’s.
Imagine that!
Oh, then there’s the other story of the Arab world supporting Obama and the Israeli’s supporting McCain.
