How does a mother explain the complex reality of Gaza to her own young children, rightly perplexed at the attitude of visa authorities, the threats of Israeli soldiers and the pain and unbelonging experienced by those around them, for a homeland that they are often denied entry to and seldom see? How can a journalist cover the story of her homeland ‘objectively’, while it is being bombed and occupied, its occupants imprisoned and dispossessed? Gaza Mama is the story of a Gazan, life and blood, reporting on Palestinian politics and elections, massacres and border controls, and Israel’s 22-day bombardment and blockade of Gaza in 2008-2009, the infamous Operation Cast Lead.
Laila El-Haddad is a journalist, political analyst and social activist from Gaza. She and her two young children spend as much time in Gaza as they can – but her spouse, a Palestinian physician who grew up in a refugee camp in Lebanon, is not allowed by Israel to enter Gaza. From 2003-2006, El-Haddad was the Gaza stringer for Al-Jazeera English and has made two Gaza-based documentaries for Al-Jazeera International. She contributes regularly to the BBC and Guardian Unlimited and has also written for The New Statesman, The Daily Star, Electronic Intifada, Le monde diplomatique and other media outlets.
