sun was reflected in glittering
pools of brightness from his high
cheek bones and slightly flaring
nostrils. He stood on the curb
leaning against a rickety two
wheeled dray, to which was at
tached, between the shafts, a hip-
high four legged animal which
looked as if it were trying dumb
ly to make a donkey of itself.
He was looking hungrily at a
pile of old, ragged, cast-off
clothes on the sidewalk, over
which a group of Jews and Arabs
were haggling with the old
clothes man (the man you hear
every morning in Tel Aviv with
a bag on his shoulders, or riding
a bicycle to which Is attached a
two wheeled contraption, as he
shouts in a quaint Yiddish ‘‘Alte
Sachen!”)
The faces on the would be
purchasers ranged from light Eu
ropean to almost bronzed tan,
but this fellow was coal black.
He shook his kinky grey haired
pate in protest at my pointing
camera, turned slowly, picked up
the lead role on his draught an
imal, gave it a couple of slaps
on its rump, and disdainfully
walked away.
Without his Arab headgear, a
shabby looking kefia, I could
have sworn he looked like an
American Southern Negro share
cropper. But, the kefia, the loose,
dirty blue tunic, and his baggy
cotton blue pants, the bag at his
rear almost scraping the ground,
said he was not an Uncle Tom.
He could be Muhammed Ibra
him al Tewfik, probably an Afri
can slave in his own life time,
and surely a descendant of jun
gle Africans kidnapped by Ara
bian slave hunters in the past.
But today, by a particularly im
portant event in Middle East his
tory sometime in 1948, he be
came automatically a citizen of
the former Arab city of Jaffa, a
citizen of Israel.
Somehow this black Arab
symbolized a bizarre phase of
human history, a swing of the
pendulum from African savag
ery, through Arab barbarous
slavery, to a puzzling civilization,
a unique citizen in a counrty
which is attempting to help the
land of his ancestors in its first
