Somewhere, over the rainbow...
A rainbow forms an incongruant beam of beauty over the Gaza Strip yesterday after several days of musky rain.

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
- Location: somewhere between the seas, Gaza Strip, Palestine
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one.

what a beautiful picture.
I discovered your blog thanks to Foulla
and I find it really interesting
thanks a lot for sharing
Beautiful photo. I would wish it were a sign that your life were safe and peaceful. I see that you are born in the sign of Aquarius, which would mean you have a birthday coming up this month or next--so I give you wishes for a good year. Your son is very beautiful.
"KABOBfest’s blogger Will’s post number 400 was also about Sharon, Will says he was surprised not to see any news about Sharon’s health on Yahoo frontpage sidebar.
Laila of Raising Yousuf wonders what will Sharon say when he meets all his peaces on his final day, what will he say to his Maker?
Sugar Cubes compared the poor media coverage of Arafat’s sickness and death to the excessive focus of MSM on Sharon’s health and hospitalization. From Arafat to Sharon and recently Abramoff, who decides what’s a top story?..."
Subhanallah!
Beautiful!
La Quwwata Illa Billah!
This rainbow over Gaza gives hope to my heart.
