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.

Hi Laila,
I notice you're still using Hello BloggerBot to upload your pictures. I'm not sure if you'd noticed, but Blogger turned on the "add photo" button a few weeks ago. You can upload photos from the same screen you write your blog posts from now.
Masha'Allah. Cute boy.
mc: i tried that "add photo" button but the photo disappears after i do so!
