Many of us cannot hold a conversation about hardly anything for more than a few minutes without getting into a hardcore political debate. This often turns into a meta analysis and commentary on the world and history usually peppered with condemnations of Arab leaders. I think this is why, for some people, if a fellow Palestinian does not follow similar pattern then somehow this does not seem right to them, possibly that he/she does not care about their homeland and people. Salam, Mohammad. About the politics thing, here’s my two fils :) : As you know politics in Palestinian society dominated daily life for at least the past two generations.

Cheer up, sweetie! Don't let other people's negativity get you down. The whole idea of a blog is to express what YOU are comfortable about sharing. Some people, like yourself, find it easy to share the personal things with others--why that should be offensive, I will never know. Remember, this virtual world is in many ways similar to the real world in that all kinds of weirdos come your way--but unlike the real world, you really can ignore them, because they don't know you, and with much luck they never will know you! How fortunate you are, huh? Everyone realizes you are not the one with the problem--it is these small-minded and small-hearted individuals who need to get a life. Oh, and I love those sales where things are at craaazzzzy prices!! Take care and keep on bloggin! :) Mona! Cheer up, sweetie! Don’t let other people’s negativity get you down.
