Sayed Kashua : Airport etiquette, Britain vs. Israel
Talkback
Title:British Jews, incognito, apart from the accent
Name:Daniel
City: LondonState:
As a British Jew, I was pretty incognito when I was living in Israel, as long as I had a few days` beard growth, shorts and a pair of flip flops. It was only when I opened my mouth, revealing the plummy English accent I picked up at Oxford, that the truth came out. In a strong Israeli accent I always got the same mocking reply: "God Save the Queen!" I only asked for a bootle of Goldstar!
