Anonymous asked: God bless you for being a beacon of truth in a world that conspires to associate Palestine with simply destruction and unjustifiable hatred. Americans have so many misconceptions (I've been asked if we ride camels in Aleppo...) about the Middle East in general, and I think that influence will continue to withhold a Palestinian-Israeli solution. Anyway, I love your blog! Allah maak!

Experience Palestine : Maktub.
I wish everyone could at least have a snippet of my childhood in the desert of Palestine. The air, balmy and thick with heat, and the rubble, crumbled and ancient.

This article addresses how Al-Nakba has influenced the lives of Palestinians, positively and otherwise, and also sends a message to the Israelis, and those who doubt our cause, that we are not just...
