Hakam Habash, a 36-year-old man who works in a Nablus factory that manufactures jeans for companies in Israel, hadn’t seen the sea for 20 years. When he received a permit to be in Israel in the daylight hours during the month of Ramadan, which just ended this week – he decided to go to the seashore. But his foray to Herzl Beach in Netanya ended in bitter disappointment.
While he was enjoying himself on the seashore with three friends, he says, a municipal inspector asked to see their entry permits. Even though their permits were valid, he fined each of them 730 shekels ($207). The fine was for violation of an unusual regulation: wearing underpants (albeit of a dark color) instead of bathing suits.
According to Habash, the Israelis who were on the beach in underpants were not fined.
Vu qu’on trouve toujours par chez nous des gens pour importer les saloperies israéliennes, cette anecdote me fait penser qu’après la mode des scandales « burqa à la plage » et « non au burkini », le prochain thème de l’été sera : « les arabes en slip à la plage qui ne respectent pas notre tradition du maillot moule-burnes ».
