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.
About Me

These men have so many different flags, would you mind explaining them to your readers?
Yellow and white: Fatah. Red: either PFLP or DFLP (the one in the middle with the star is DFLP). Black: Islamic Jihad.
Ditto. :)
