No one thought they would see heavily armed Hamas gunmen going door-to-door on quiet Israeli streets or storming a crowded music festival, mowing people down for hours with no soldiers in sight. No one thought they would see entire neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip turned into rubble-strewn wastelands, with high-rises leveled, paved roads turned to dirt and people fleeing on foot with only what they could carry.

They were having so much fun that they started dabbling with poetry. They began writing and performing rap in summer last year. Suni and the Seven Princesses enjoy nationwide fame, appearing in commercials and...
