From the NYT sidebar again:
Anger Over Gaza Grows in Arab Street
As the war in Gaza burned through its 14th day, Arab governments have felt their legitimacy challenged with an uncommon virulence.
Is there an Israeli Street? A British Street? An American Street?
I understand what the headline means, and I realize that that phrase is in common usage, but isn't it a little condescending?
