The cheapening of Arab blood by the West and the blatant racism
Nawal’s resignation, reflected in many other conversations with other friends and with people on the street, was heavy, but masks a corrosive sense of pain,regret and anger – another violation, another occupation – which was evident in the face of every demonstrator who took to the streets of Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen and Jordan.
