WOMEN OF THE WORLD IN PICTURES: ISRAELI WOMEN VS. ARAB WOMEN


Photos from left to right. Photo from
Israel. #1.Sent to us from a "Loper Lover" with this caption: "Free
to be themselves, free to dress as they please, free to date who they want,
free to drive, free to work, free to choose their own mates, free to study,
free to travel abroad without the consent of a male relative, free to lead,
free to write and publish, free to make reproductive choices. Just like
American women, Israeli women have all of these freedoms. Women in the
surrounding Muslim countries are still waiting. Photo from Bahrain.
#2. Rakia Al Gassra of Bahrain ran in a qualifying heat
of the 100m. She ran in a full hejab covered from head to toe. She was one of
five Muslim women running in the 100 meters. Danah Al Nasrallah, 16, was the
first Kuwaiti woman to compete in the Olympics. These women have a fierce
spirit and I admire them for it.
