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.

He looks happy :).
I can only hope that harm never comes near him.
Lovely picture but is it really safe to be playing with ducks with birflu already in the middle east
he looks so cute with his ducky. My mom also had a pet duck. (not so common in suburban Northern California) Eventually she was told it had to move to a "farm." I think it became dinner one night. Good luck. What does he call it?
he seems to really enjoy the duck;)
my prayers with u in ur preserverence and patience, in everything that you do...
As Salaamualikum Leila wa Yousuf.
Sabr wa Shukur and keeping writing. I am making dua that Allah keeps you and your lovely boy safe.
Fi Iman Allah
As salam aleikum
