Raising Yousuf and Noor: diary of a Palestinian mother
I am a Palestinian from Gaza. I am a journalist. I am a mother. I am a Muslim. This blog is about the trials of raising my children between spaces and identities; displacement and occupation; and everything that entails from potty training to border crossings. My husband is a Palestinian refugee denied his right of return to Palestine, and thus OUR right to family life. Together, we endure a lot, and the personal becomes political. This is our story.

... for fear of getting shot at by a nearby Israeli sniper ...
Please let me know when Israeli forces have fired on an innocent civilian that has not, at that moment, been a threat to security.
Do you really want me to do that?
I wouldn't even know where to begin. Here's a few for starters Tom Hurndall; Iman al-Hims; Noran Deeb; Mahir Walwil; and on..and on..and on. End post.
Dear umyousuf,
So grateful for the excellent coverage from Gaza.
Alhamdulillah. I am glad these people have a chance. Leets hope that Palestinian leadership does not let them done as it so often has in the past.
One of my first nights in Rafah we dove for cover at Abu J_'s because the soldier in the tower decided to shoot into the house.
A simple Google search, or a visit to the Al Mezan Centre website would give plenty of examples assuming that is what you were looking for
