These are improvisations: neither a manifesto nor a treatise because life is too complicated for either. Yet, I'm improvising as an Arab--Palestinian-- woman with a progressive point of view always under construction. I use these improvisations to think out loud, so never take any post as my last word on a subject but think of it as the beginning of a conversation.

Discrediting the Revolutionaries

The Egyptian youth activists, The April 6th Movement, are on the defensive after the military council succeeded in discrediting them through the media as agents of outside forces, as this article shows.  It does not mention, however, the active role the Muslim Brothers and Salafis played in this character assassination although they were the main beneficiaries of the youth revolutionary mobilization. Live and learn again and  again and again.
