GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Amid the poverty and deprivation of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian women struggle to find a taste of normality that is taken for granted in much of the rest of the world.

“I haven’t picked my wedding dress yet,” said El-Roos, who is also busy preparing for her final high school exams. “I am confused. My sisters are helping me.”

Yep, that's really struggling.

What a little trooper...

I'm reminded of an article published in one of the major European papers, if I can find a link I'll post it, following Tony Blair's sister in law (sister?) around Gaza. She's a pro palestinian activist. And as such, she appeared to live pretty well. Pics of her in a nice hotel. Not Trump towers, but I've stayed in lots worse. Shopping in the local bodega, well stocked. She looked happy. Nice restaurants.

Doesn’t surprise me. There’s gotta be a Glenn Beck joke in there somewhere.

And this is the problem with the US commie media..they take the side of people who would kill Jews if they had the chance..these women don’t value Jewish life, they use their own bodies and the bodies of their children as suicide bombers, as stabbers, shooters, etc..they teach their children from BIRTH that all Jews must die..so spare me the cutesy photos Yahoo news

I thought it was now commonly accepted to use the word “normalcy” in place of ‘normality’. Maybe because Harding was a Republican, if you’re on the left you use ‘normality’.

You’ll get “Normal” when you quit being, and giving birth to, Goat humping, Allah FUBAR screaming Sand Uyghurs blowing up innocent civilians. Until then I will celebrate every one of you being taken out by the IDF.

Tony Blair was the guy leading the “divide Israel for peace” group “The Quartet” before he retired.

I agreed with Jimmy DeYoung that he was looking like a good candidate for Antichrist, there, quit a bit.

Not 100% with Jimmy on all things but I was glad he noticed Blair (he’s retired, supposedly).

They even bought residence in Jerusalem to save on all their hotel fees.

BTW, “The Quartet” came out during Jorge’s administration. (Madrid 2002). They’re still at it, BTW.

The U.S., the United Nations (oh goody), the European Union (oh goody again) and Russia (sigh) with a plan to divide Israel for peace.

Nice NWO plan there, Jorge.

I wouldn’t blanket all of the women with the same cloth, no pun intended for the hijab wearing folk... but there has been an uptick in anti-Israel news lately. My guess is it has to do with laying some groundwork to oppose Trump’s upcoming Israeli-Arab peace initiative and/or because Trump has made some dramatic (if not all that substantial) moves to pressure Palestinian political reform.

Forgive me, I was an English major. The etymology of the word always stuck. Normality was the correct word, until President Harding said “normalcy” in a speech back during the Prohibition era. He was lampooned for that word at the time, but it soon started to enter the lexicon.

If she’s interested in college, Felicity Huffman might be able to help her out. Oh, wait.....

The basic problem in Gaza is Islam, all of their problems evolve from being slaves to it.
