Slingshot Hip Hop & DAM

15Jul08

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to catch the first (and long awaited) screening of Slingshot Hip Hop in Jordan which was followed by an awesome performance by DAM on the theater’s stage.
I’ve been a fan of DAM ever since I read about them nearly 5 years ago and I can’t believe I finally [...]

Smile, You’re in South Lebanon

12Jun08

“Smile, you’re in south Lebanon” is a great documentary I was lucky enough to watch last week in Souk Jara. The 1 hour and 20 something minutes documentary by a brilliant Dalia Kury filmed the life of a southern Lebanese family and how they deal with fear and hardship.
The answer to the previous question is [...]

Nakba in My Memory and Today

Israeli Music?

This is the first strike since Hamas gained power three months ago; the majority of shops, universities and even hospitals were closed on Sunday.

Not Sure What Palestinians Want Anymore

14Jun07

For the longest time I tried to find the words to describe how I feel seeing Palestinians fight among themselves. And for the longest time, I couldn’t get myself to write about it. But right now, all I want is to vent.
I’ve been wondering lately about what Palestinians really want. I thought that we, Palestinians, [...]

Please Go Home

28Mar07

And donate expenses to poor people, fix a school, mend an old government building, widen a street, send someone to school or don’t but just please go home. I, as an Arab citizen appreciate your concern and the effort you’re making to discuss Palestine and Iraq but you know what, it’s getting old and pointless [...]
