Part Two
that seemed fairly balanced..
it is a shame however that syrian children are taught to feel like victims.. thats not very character building..
i believe that we will achieve peace..
somehow and in some shape and form and that one day these issues will be studied in history books and kids will cringe wondering about the relevance..

hi Golaniya, i saw that documentary in aljazeera english and i was very impressed with the living conditions in the Golan Heights. Here in Europe we don´t have the right notion of whats going on there and blogs like yours help us to get in touch with the reality of this occupied territories
i´m a usual reader of ” Descentering Damascus”, great blog!

We’re going on vacation to the liberated Golan Heights next week.
I can’t wait.

Ayman, i agree, but i think it is the usual phase a process goes through to reach a reasonable down to earth stage.
