Middle East Bloggers

Same deal as we had during the Lebanon War of 2006. Middle East bloggers are debating all over the place.

My blog has been mentioned in a few places, albeit I’m not sure it was in a positive light ;) I am not being sarcastic either, sometimes I just couldn’t tell.

Zeinobia from Egyptian Chronicles even dedicated an entire blog post to me. I got to know an interesting blog that way, so reciprocating a link ;) I also receieved many interesting comments to a recent post about Gaza (the one Zeinobia refered to) – lots of beef in the comments here. I should mention here that I welcome all comments, as long as they’re not rude. I had to delete one comment so far – I’m afraid I don’t take well to people wishing my children bad things, or to using the F word in comments :p

I have to leave soon, take the kids to their after school classes, but hopefully I’ll get some time later this evening to debunk some debunkments… Mo-ha-med, here I come ;)

    Hi Israeli Mom! I’m in Colorado, in the US, and I stumbled on your blog last week. You see, I’m headed to Israel, to Jerusalem, in a week for a short class at the Hebrew University (Givat Ram), and when all of the fighting broke out, I didn’t know if I should still go.

    When I read your blog, and saw how brave you and your family were, it made me feel like it would be ok. I want to go to Israel, I want to see the beautiful country, see all of the holy places (and do some good science while I’m there). I don’t want stupid terrorists to scare me away from this great opportunity either. So I’m not going to let them! :)

    who told you Egypt is closing borders with Gaza? are you lying or just an ignorant?

    we opened it for wounded people and we won’t allow Gaza’s garbage to enter and ruin our country, we let as i heard on BBC yesterday all the garbage Palestinian to go out to Gaza

    if you think israel is a bad place why don’t you just immigrate, merge or leave.

    and please don’t visit my blog anymore!!

    Well, this is new. An Egyptian blogger asking me not to visit his blog because he thinks I’m too anti-Israeli.

    Not sure what the options of immigrate, merge or leave mean exactly?

    It’s borderline humorous the different perspectives and reactions one sees in here, lol. So far, in three posts, you have one telling you you are a pathetic creature for your war-like ways, another tells you you are anti-Israeli and another applauds you for being reasonably stoic about it all.

    You couldn’t make this stuff up.

    I just want you and yours to be healthy and happy and I happen to realize you want the same for the Palestinians and people in Gaza. The truth is, we all do, no matter where we come from.

    Just so as I get it – you’re calling me anti-Israeli, right?

    And back to the oven, it’s about the woman thing? or the holocaust?

    Sorry if I am having a hard time understanding the insults. No need for Hebrew – I usually do fairly well in English ;)

    i mean with oven: Hitler’s ovens
    if all of Jewish people like you then now i believe i was fool to believe Hitler was psycho…

    i hope Arabs burn you and all of Jewish people like you who are against the defensive war on Gaza and who do all that protests in the streets for it.

    israel is bad then you should be kicked out of it, go live in Germany!

    you leftists are a cancer in any nation body not just Israel.
