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.

A wonderful new year 2007 to you Laila!
Yousef is becoming so handsome. MashaAllah
hi jinge!
well actually no he doesn't hunt with it (though they can be trained to hunt and many do, though not anymore) but I think my cousin caught it accidentally and then it was injured and can't fly now or something..:(
Hi Laila,
Found my way to your blog by accident really and have been moved by your pictures on Flickr. I couldn't reply to them as I don't have a flickr account.
Humans have so much more in common ten they have diferences - and the differences are what we create.
I loved reading about your life as a working mum and seeing the pictures of your beautiful boy.
Thanks for sharing your world - it's been a priviledge to discover it.
Blessings to you xx
