Miral, Rula Jebreal -

Soon to be a major motion picture from the award-winning director Julian Schnabel, starring Freida Pinto.

WRITTEN BY the much-admired Italo-Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal, Miral is a novel that focuses on remarkable women whose lives unfold in the turbulent political climate along the borders of Israel and Palestine. The story begins with Hind, a woman who sacrifices everything to establish a school for refugee Palestinian girls in East Jerusalem. Years later Miral arrives at the school after her mother commits suicide. Hind sees that Miral has the potential to change the world peacefully-but Miral is appalled by the injustice that surrounds her, and flirts with the notion of armed resistance. Hind desperately works to persuade her to stay the course of education, hard work, and non-violent resolution-but is she too late?

First of all let me say this woman must be an alien from Mars. She is gorgeous! Second I admire the story she's pitting together. Can't wait to see the film.

as for having acountry i dont believe in countries but i really wish if all the palestinian ppl could live somewhere in peace without being provaked every single day or being homeless!!

[israa esraa]

I have nothing aganist her or darker skinned ppl, on the contrary i kinda respect her n proud she's palestinian, i dont consider my self as white am tanned n anyway u sound like its u who think being dark skinned is not beautiful or something wrong which is the opposite for me, i dont understand why u thought i was attacking her i was simply trying to interpret to someone in here why she looks mixed thats all n yes i have studied some DNA researches regarding race.

with culture like that no wonder she was with the jew director. "dark" lol she not even that dark...you just that white and pasty.She is not Dark in Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, etc...I mean your people don't even have country so I guess her unlikeness to the rest of your population is prolly what makes her remarkable lol.

[d34dmantwoguns]

liberated Arab woman at the heels of a Jew....damn shame.

[Socialpsychology32]

What is this dark, mixed talk? Do you know anything about biology? The woman is brilliant; listen and learn something instead of letting everyone know what you hate about yourself.

[israa esraa]

i heard her once saying that her father is of sudanese orgians thats why she's dark cuz normal palestinians r not really this dark, am a palestinian my self n am not really dark, after all palestinian ppl got mixed over the years n still get mixed due to the wars,immgrations or the past rules, based on many researches says that the palestinians r mostly a mix of arabs,philistines,canaanties,p­hoenicians,Romans,ottomans,anc­iant egyptians,hebrews,crusaders.

Very intelligent, thoughtful and well informed politically. World class beauty.

[David Curry]

she can enter any room and make both the intellectual smartass and the attractive attention-craver feel inadequate

[Pop Can]

LOL it's so funny to see white people argue and debate what her race is. God forbid any of you clowns actually listen what this human being has to say.

[robert sebastianelli]

she is a beauty ....
