This scene could just as easily have been photographed in Cairo, Egypt, where vendors of cool liquids still use such large vessels, strapped to their backs.
In New York City!

I recall, many years ago, just before my marriage, riding with my friend Kent Brown and another member of the Jerusalem Branch. Kent and I were very Arab-friendly. The driver, by contrast, though a foreigner like us and a very nice fellow, was extremely — and I mean extremely — pro-Zionist.
We were passing by some sort of Palestinian Arab prep school.
I had just been thinking to myself how very attractive some of the Palestinian girls emerging from the school were. Extremely pretty.
Suddenly, the driver commented “They’re not a very good-looking people, are they?”
I’ve thought about that little incident off and on for years. We see through filters.
Anyway, you see the same sort of thing in this article.
