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

Though politically, religiously and in many other ways you and I really couldn't be farther apart, I do know a little something about how your community views family and what a marriage between a man and a woman is supposed to be.
And boy do I feel bad for your husband. I'm sure I don't like his political points of view but he really doesn't deserve to have his wife act the way you do.
Mnuez, at least have some respect and don't make such comments in such a post.
Do you even have a sense of humanity and conscience? Here's a post on a little girl who was killed, and look what you post. Shame on you.
"And boy do I feel bad for your husband. I'm sure I don't like his political points of view but he really doesn't deserve to have his wife act the way you do."
This kind of comment is not admissible. One has the right to express political opinions. But a individual has not the right to make personal attacks such as " You are a Liar " , or " You are a criminal " , or a terrorist.
One thing is to express POLITICAL point of views. Another thing is to make personal attacks .
The comment : He does not deserve to have a wife..",is clearly a personal attack.
When I used to post in the portuguese message board.., a fellow used to ask me : Hey Peter, how many children you killed today?
The message of the fellow in the portuguese board was clear : Since I did support Israel..,I was a criminal, a murderer.
In a few words : One thing is to express our own opinions and criticize other people political opinions. Another thing is to make character attacks.
