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.
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one.
Jon Stewart gets it right again-and they wonder why more Americans watch his show for a take on the news than major networks. Because Americans want the truth! Not soundbyte tv...or as he put it 24 hour news coverage on speed

Unfortuntely because of the control of zionists , YOU do get only fake news on your airways . they do not want you to know the truth .
sometimes you get some truth in the Fake news of John stewart . I doubt he would care about gaza though.
Isn't he great, I've linked him on my blog and facebook too! He points out our governments hipocracy when it comes to mediatating!
I Do apologize for John Stewart I spoke before seeing the video . He does seem to know some facts unlike those who kiss A.. I know many Politicians and columnists watch what they say before opening their mouths or they can kiss their career goodbye. some tried to investigate the USS liberty fiasco and wished they never did .
American Im not saying evil Jews control the media , Im saying Jews do control your media and Hollywood , check out the CEOS of big media Networks and most Newspapers . Same is true in britain , Canada , and france .
that the way to protect Israel . i wish the Arab corrupt leaders do such a thing and invest in a proper lobby to protect thier people instead of spending it on casinos , more palaces, more yachts more villas and prostitutes .

If you watch AL Jazeera You will be amazed , it is doing a better job than US media . It actually shows both sides of the story inluding giving air time to Israeli officials , and show the settlements and the rockets , and ALLOw the viewer to make up his mind . (I do mute my tv set when i see the israeli generals speak , i cant stomach their obvious lies ) :)
Dear Leyla, don't mute your tv when Imran Garda and his colleague interview those spokepersons. You'll miss the moment when we know who are the lier just by seing their faces and hearing their silly answers. Keep on the good job, Aljazeera. And thank you, Jon Stewart.
Al Jazzera is subsidised by the Emir of Qatar. Not a totally free source but as good as bbc arabic, most of the rest of arab media is totally government controlled especially in iran and saudi arabia.
CNN does just as well at showing both sides as Al Jazzera without the graphics. ie is somewhat more santitized for a western audiance who don't want to see the blood just hear about it. they even had laila herself on. The US media is no more fake than anything else but ya'll want anti-american opinions not real news.
no suprise you whole heartly support fake news.
Says the guy who has an Israeli flag for an avatar. Yep, partiality is terrible.
It's too bad the only speakers here so far are Zionists and antisemites who believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Hey, together they managed to create the State of Israel and maintain it for 60 years, so I'm sure they can maintain it even longer, with their stupid back and forth racist bullshit.
zionest has in thinking the jews desearve to keep their UN, legally established homeland and land they took after they were attacked first by their neighboring arab countries. Sure I ain't got no problem with that definition of zionism.
If you live in North America you can catch Al Jazeera (english) on Livestation. They have really good coverage on Gaza. Don't forget to get out there and protest.
American 6103,
funny how the pro-Zionist crowd clamour to point out their state's "legality" under the UN whilst totally dismissing every UN resolution that holds Israel to account for it's atrocities.
Well, it might be funny if it wasn't so twisted
