...regard to your incredibly unenlightened and sexist remark that Golda Meir "could be as unbending as any man": I deeply resent your identification of inflexibility as a male trait.

Somewhat grudgingly, they tolerate other Israeli efforts to tidy up the Old City, like installing a cable network to get rid of unsightly (and somewhat incongruous) TV antennas. Says Mahmud Abu Zalef, editor of the Arab daily Al Quds: "Any improvement in the physical sense that will make Jerusalem more beautiful is okay with me. I don't care who does it. But it should not be done by throwing people...
