Kesher Talk

A couple of my Arab co-workers (one specifically employed as an Arab specialist, the other, well, just Arab) were chatting near me, and one of them mentioned all the risks that the Egyptian government was taking in sending so many arms to the Palestinians via Gaza and the Rafah crossing.

This was news to me, so I broke in and asked if I'd heard right: is Mubarak really sending arms to the PA? They looked at me like I was from Mars. "Oh, [real name]," sighed the specialist, weary at my naivete. "Of course they are."
