Manal Khader from Divine Intervention. In fact, we're getting kind of desperate... anyone got any ideas? Yamilla Diaz Rahi is basically the NOX team's idea of perfection. And, besides, we had to kick out Nadine Labaki from this section because, well, we met her last issue... Yasmine Hamdan, the former lead singer in Lebanese band Soap Kills, and now pursuing her own thing in Paris. And we, erm, heard that she... er... sorry, what we were talking about? Okay, okay, so Jessica Alba isn't actually Arab, but we're equal opportunity pervs... er... admirers of women here. Although she's so hot we reckon her name must have been originally al-Ba'. Even if that doesn't actually mean anything in Arabic... You see? One tiny jpeg and we've lost our minds...Now, we ain't saying terrosism is cool, but resistance? Well, that's a different matter. And Leila Khaled is still the epitome of rebellion chic.
Ghassan Kanafani – a poet and a revolutionary, in that order. Murdered by Mossad 36 years ago. Hany Abu Assad – Palestine's greatest filmmaker. And a personal friend. Well, he sent us an e-mail by accident once. That counts in our book. Ghassan Massoud, whose chiseled, Syrian features not only starred as Salah ad-Din (God, how we need him right now...) in Kingdom of Heaven, but also in a six-page interview in NOX Issue 2 . Habis al-Majali – the Jordanian general with three victories over Israel under his belt. If only he'd kept hold of Sharon when he had the chance... Elia Suleiman - starred opposite Manal Khader (see over) in his should-have-been-Oscar-winning Divine Intervention. But, hey, he starred opposite Manal Khader. So why should he care? And, of course, Peter Crouch, a man whose grace, balance and sheer poetic genius remains an inspiration to us all.
