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

Though politically, religiously and in many other ways you and I really couldn't be farther apart, I do know a little something about how your community views family and what a marriage between a man and a woman is supposed to be.
And boy do I feel bad for your husband. I'm sure I don't like his political points of view but he really doesn't deserve to have his wife act the way you do.
Mnuez, at least have some respect and don't make such comments in such a post.
Do you even have a sense of humanity and conscience? Here's a post on a little girl who was killed, and look what you post. Shame on you.
