Peacenik Jew Marries Arab
ontroversial Brooklyn peace activist Adam Shapiro married the "enemy" yesterday.
Shapiro, a Jew who has been an outspoken critic of the Israeli invasion of the West Bank, tied the knot with longtime love Huwaida Arraf — a Palestinian peace activist from Detroit.
The couple — he is 30, she is 26 — were married in a Catholic ceremony at a Detroit-area church. The location was kept secret because Shapiro and his family in Sheepshead Bay have received death threats from angry Jews. More than 200 people attended the nuptials.
Shapiro traded his trademark grubby T-shirt and bandanna for a black tuxedo. The bride was radiant in a full-length white gown. The newlyweds met while working for a group that promotes cultural understanding between Jews and Palestinians.
The Shapiros, who live in Ramallah, will be honeymooning in the war-torn West Bank.
