Salamz, pas and peace,
I blog for myself,
I blog from my city
I’m everything that I am not
I write words that are written
I draw pictures that are already painted
My smile is my weakness
And my faith is my strength
beauty is not my thing
yet it’s the way that I think
I still look for myself
between now and then
I take more than I deserve
I try to Learn something about everything
I’m a good person…good soul and open minded
LOL that was totally random poem ; it came as I was editing my personal information.
My name is Lina, I’m 22 years old. I’m senior students doing English Literature at the Islamic University in Gaza.
I welcome your comments on palilinz@gmail.com

Comment by india jdbasketball July 9, 2009 @ 7:45 pmHi,lina
Nice to see a fellow outlandish fan. I’m 28, male from Indonesia.
I got hooked by ol for the first time after listening to their second album. Their lyrics are so beautiful, especially look into my eyes & i’ve seen. I’m not particularly a hip hop fan, but their songs are different, nothing about party til you drunk/ female harrasment/ bling2. Thier different ethnicity background also make their songs more colorful.
I also like them because 2 of them are practising muslims. How cool is that. Even cooler, they’re big in their native country, Denmark. Come on, Denmark, the land of Muhammad (MPBUH) cartoons.
I’m Insy’Allah gonna buy this album, if I could find it (the last one was imported)
Nice artwork. May Allah bring peace to Palestine.
By the way, I also like DAM, the rap group.
Comment by Ardhi June 15, 2009 @ 1:37 pmHi Lina,
I was searching the lyrics of Outlandish-sound of a rebel and thats how I stumbled upon your blog and couldn’t help reading your entire blog.

Comment by Cristina July 27, 2010 @ 1:34 pmThe article in Libération was translated in Italian and published in “Internazionale” magazine. I do wish you will be a journalist for Al Jazeera one day. And I’ll read your blog regularly from now on.
Thank you for all this!

Pingback by Gaza bloggers build bridges to outside world « Occupied Palestine | فلسطين February 4, 2011 @ 1:06 pmIt is a shame you have to live under the terror of a Hamas government that cares more about killing Jews than it does caring for its own people. The pain you suffer is by most part due to the actions of the terrorist govt of Hamas. I pray the people of Gaza will rise up and overthrow Hamas and bring freedom to Gaza.
Comment by Merle February 5, 2011 @ 2:53 amExcuse me … I do not allow anyone to incite our people
against his government …And also do not allow any one
to try to differentiate between our people …….ok…

Hey,
Comment by ACE April 22, 2011 @ 7:49 pmI have only reached a small portion, but enjoy reading your various posts. I happen to be serving in the Israeli army and feel it is for the better to spend some time in understanding the various aspects of life in Gaza. I wont comment on actions of either side, but in the end we hope that the violence and ultimately entire situation will come to a halt as quickly as possible.
Nice job : )
Comment by Ibrahim July 12, 2011 @ 4:30 pmJust saw you on Aljezeera. I am so proud of you. Please visit my blog
