War on media: the time is now
Please read this first: Truth does not bother Israel. Pushing buttons do. My social media sister @occpal and I have decided that we are going to wage a war. No not a violent one, mind you…but a figurative war against the media. We, and I am sure many others as well, are fed up with [...]
Trending for Palestine: Hashtags for hunger strikers
Trending for freedom- social media activists have taken action by using twitter hashtags to trend for untold stories of injustice and suffering.

Ramblings of a tired Arab girl

The Real ‘Trash’ Of Lebanon
Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani, apparently whom carries the ever so eligible title of ‘top Mufti of Lebanon’ and ally of the former March 14th government, went on a rampage a few days ago in a conference he held in Beirut.

May 15 Maroun Al Ras Protest: “Palestine, Palestine: We will return by the millions”
It was a once in a life time chance and an experience that could never be duplicated.
