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.

Eid Mubarak, Laila, to you and your family. I think that the Mamool are better in Gaza than in Germany, and I never learned how to make them so nice and uniform like my Aunties.
Eid Mubarak!
