Rambling ...

I'm an Irish Girl, A Dubliner, with the 'Gift of the Gab' ... I like to talk & to tell you things. In Celtic times news, views and comment were carried from place to place by wandering Seanachaí ~ Storytellers ~ who relied on their host's hospitality and appreciation. I will need that from you too, as I venture to share Politics, Poetry, Laughter, Love, Life & everything in-between ... from Bog to Blog!!

The Gaza Ghetto .... A Picture Postcard ~ Part 1 !!!!!

Influenced by Arab and leftist propaganda, the world sees Gaza as a Ghetto under siege by the cruel Israeli army, but photos from Gaza continually prove the opposite.   Less than a year ago, a bustling modern mall opened in Gaza City.  This week a Waterpark!

Egyptian journalist Ashraf Abu al-Houl wrote last year following a tour of Gaza that  "A sense of absolute prosperity prevails, as manifested by the grand resorts along and near Gaza's coast. Further, the site of the merchandise and luxuries filling the Gaza shops amazed me.”

Concerned that his initial impression of prosperity may have been misleading, “I toured the new resorts, most of which are quite grand, as well as the commercial markets, to verify my hypothesis. The resorts and markets have come to symbolize prosperity, and to prove that the siege is formal or political, not economic,” Al-Houl said. 

This is the land that is in receipt of Billions of $$$$$$, ££££££, €€€€€€ of YOUR tax monies.  And various terror inspired 'Aid' Flotillas to it's 'Beseiged' peoples.   Ponder these Pictures .......

So this week  'A Girl, A Blog & Life In-between'  is Saluting Summertime with a Picture Postcard Series.

Today ...... Gaza Gets a WaterPark!!
