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
- Name: Laila

I don't know how many times I stared at that wall afraid the machines guns would cut me down.
I wish I could be there. y'ateekum al-'afiyya
As with the Berlin wall, I applaud.
Masha'Allah. Today Gaza, bukra, al-Quds, Insha'Allah.
