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.
Its 10:40pm now...northeastern Gaza is under serious bombardment. We can hear powerful thuds every few seconds here from Gaza City, which are rattlnig our windows. The shelling is very close to civlian homes, according to local correspondents located in the region. more later, I hope.

Oh my god, you and all of Gaza are in my prayers.
ratttu - you should really ignore the commenters on sites like haaretz and ynet. They a bunch of obsessed nut jobs and better left to themselves.
Couldn't have saod it better than Lisoosh about the Haaretz commenters. A nausea-inducing read if there ever was one.
Laila, hope this ordeal draws to a close soon and that your loved ones remain unharmed.
