With thanks to Bat Zion Susskind-Sacks (who wrote this): Shabbat in Eretz Yisrael and as is my custom on this Shabbat and every Shabbat, I go to the beach to enjoy the cooling water and the refreshing sea breeze. Next to me in bright colourful skimpy bikinis, there situated themselves two beautiful young Israeli Arab women. We exchanged common greetings (I talk to anyone:-)) and set to deepen the already evenly golden brown tan all three of us seem to have acquired. One of the city inspectors, patrolling the beaches, approached us and reminded us to drink water so that we do not get dehydrated. I told him I had forgotten mine. My beautiful beach neighbours seem to have also forgotten theirs. "I will get a popsicle as soon as the vendor gets here," I answered. "So will we," answered one of the young ladies next to me. "Ok, " said the inspector, "I will send him your way." And left. A few minutes later, all three of us were left with out mouths open. There, in front of us was the city inspector negotiating his way barefoot on the hot sand, coming towards us. In his hands were three popsicles! Welcome to an "Apartheid" state called Israel!
