Postcard from ... Tel Aviv

I happen to know the author, Ms Seeff, personally and I find it laughable that her ethics or articulation on politics be questioned. The opening comment by Judeh Khamis Bahnan is completely misplaced in what is a light-hearted section of this website- ie. to see what our fellow lawyers are up to around the world. If Bahnan still needs more convincing on this point, then the reference to cream eggs and salt and vinegar crisps, that she herself has cited, really should have set the tone, even for her, not angered her about the plight of the Palestinians. Does she really think thelawyer.com briefed Ms Seef with "we would like an elaborate insight into the currentl political situation of the Palestinians and their living situations". I do not. Would you get all offended at a travel article in the back of a magasine with a similar tone? If you want to try to show off and/or present yourself as academic and politically-savvy then go to another blog where maybe someone might care! Here, we are interested in the interesting journeys of our colleagues around the world- not in treading on egg-shells to not offend you!
