Мальчика в муже щадя, негодуя, медлила дева
И через семьдесят лет плюнула старцу в лицо.

...witnesses accused Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar of spitting in the face of a PA policeman...

Palestinian travelers said Zahar spat in the face of the policeman after the latter insulted him. Zahar arrived at the border with Sinai on his way to an Asian tour that would take him to China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. As soon as the minister entered the terminal, a policeman asked him sarcastically: "Are you going to bring us money?" According to one of the minister's top aides, the policeman's tone was "negative" and was intended to insult Zahar and mock the Hamas cabinet.
