A month ago, I posted how Quds News Network were trying to show how progressive palestinian society is by posting about the first female taxi driver in Gaza.
They actually weren’t alone – many propaganda outlets were doing so, including Al Jizz, which foreshadowed some trouble looming
But her job as a driver has not been easy in a male-dominated society with the expectation of women working in the home.
“Many male drivers and people in Gaza started to attack me on social media or while driving as they didn’t like the idea of me driving a taxi, although many other women are driving freely in Gaza,” said Abu Jibba.
And sure enough, it turns out being a female taxi driver in a “progressive” society like Gaza is not all its cracked up to be; her car was deliberately damaged by those objecting to her job

Google translation:
There are eyes focused on my life and the biggest enemy penetrated it. It is the eye of envy hates goodness for others for three days and we did not get to solve the problem, God the helper is above worship
No doubt this is somehow Israel’s fault because normally, Gazans are so peaceful and tolerant.
