A Mixed School of Jews and Arabs By Monira Basiuni, age 13 I am in a mixed school And my best friends are Jewish. Once I heard my father say that he did not like it But my mother said that it should be this way Because we live in Haifa. I invited Nirit to my home after school, My grandmother set the table for us And Nirit ate everything She said the kobeba was very tasty And that her mother was never at home at noon Because she was very busy at work. So where is your grandmother I asked? She did not answer And her eyes filled with tears.
