Dear Iqbal,
No, I haven’t suffered hunger. But that doesn’t prohibit me from understanding it.
I don’t need to be a battered wife to understand and empathise with her pain – and I don’t need to have been starved to understand and empathise with t...
I don’t think Pam’s comment was between choosing between a day at the Bolshoi ballet and finding essential sustenance. As your own blog outlined – a further catastrophe of the siege is the mental anguish it imposes on people – especially children....
Soooo proud of all those students of conscience! I know the hard work that has gone into this - and the work still to do. Hopefully this is an important landmark in the BDS campaign and that other Universities will follow suit.
Couldn’t agree more!
There have always been those who will misuse religion in the pursuit of power. My understanding of God encourages love, compassion, a quest for justice and peace – sentiments which can also be shared by those of no faith.

your poetry touched my heart,
God Bless You
The fact this has hit main stream western media is an achievement in itself - no doubt due to the recent happenings in New Jersey. Here's hoping some good investigative journalist can run with this story and reveal the truth - while the topic is s...

- About Me:
- I am Scottish by birth and married to a Palestinian. We live in England with our 3 children. My interest in the Palestinian issue pre-dates my marriage - in fact it was at a Palestinian fundraiser where I met my husband.
I therefore approach this issue as a mother, as a wife of a Palestinian - and as a member of the human race fighting for justice and peace.

The record that once stood at 713 has been broken, thanks to the effort… Continue

Engaging Muslim voices

Interesting article, I felt - with lots of assumptions that are open to debate!
I am not Muslim, though my husband and children are. I want them to engage in public debate – I want them to have a say in their future – For my children,I want them to leave their mark in the society in which they were raised!
How do Muslims in the west engage in transforming their societies for the better?

'Peace'
PEACE...........and all that jazz.
One of the allures of joining this network was its title – Palestinian Mothers – a title that denotes the traditional views of what a mother is – selfless, compassionate, empathetic and strong. I have not been disappointed.
Another term often associated with mothers is ‘peace’ – the antithesis of war.
It is this term Peace, which I want to discuss here.
