About Me
- thawrat hub (revolution of love)
- i am offering my thoughts with humility, in the hopes of providing a human element to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Everything I write is in the spirit of humanity, and should be received that way. I encourage people to respond to what I write in the hopes of creating true dialogue which may somehow engender change. That said, any posts that espouse sentiments of racism, violence, or hate of any kind will not be tolerated. You can start your own blog if you want to share those kinds of feelings. They are not welcome here.
