Hi Everyone and Ramadan Karim, it feel so great to be back to this blog. I remember all the good times I had on it and how much responses I got back. And now I'm glad to see that it has gained popularity in the past several months, yet I apologize so much for not updating for about three months. I feel so ashamed, but I have an excuse! :) I was in Damascus and it was impossible to post anything to the Damascene Breeze, as my blog is blocked over there. Maybe it's because of the politics.. lol? Anyway I'm glad to say that I'm back to posting, and the Damascene Breeze will not only be about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict yet it will be about many Middle Eastern topics, being politics or society-related. And maybe I'll throw in a couple of entertainment articles for the fun of it, as in Ramadan there will be a lot of new series and dramas.
I also feel ashamed to say that I have not been following up on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so
I have a lot of catching up to do and a lot of research as well. This topic cannot be addressed in 35 articles and there will be more I hope. As I write, I'm remembering the time when I was digging for information and reading any book I could get my hands on about this topic. And I hope I could get back to that state. I wouldn't call it loss of interest at the moment, my interest is just a little weaker but I will strengthen it to provide you with articles that offer insight in the everyday life in Israel/Palestine and the whole Middle East as well.
I also visited Beirut this summer and I am happy to say that Lebanon is added on my list of interesting topics as I have gained tremendous admiration for the city and the country as a whole. Expect a lot of articles about Beirut, current or not.
I'm confused under what genre this blog would be classified under: Israeli-Palestinian, Middle Eastern Politics, Entertainment, Middle Eastern society. All of these probably but the one theme here that is common among all of these titles is Middle Eastern. All articles are about the Middle East, may it be political conflicts or a new drama that is airing. So tune in the coming months and see what articles capture your interest. I'm also up to suggestions, so please whatever is on your mind, let it reach me! I want to say thank you for everyone that was visiting this blog in the summer and I am very sorry that I didn't update. Hopefully I could gain you back as loyal visitors to this blog! Thank You!

Hey! OMG! You're alive!!
RAMADAN KAREEM to you too!
I hope you had fun in Damascus! That must have been a great time! You visited Lebanon too!? Lucky! It's a beautiful place, isn't it? Once you go there, it's hard not to want to come back, especially if you have family there. -_-
I totally know what you mean about the temporary "loss of interest" thing. I do that a lot but then something fuels my interest back up again and I'm at it more than ever.. lol.
Have you been keeping up with any arabic shows lately? I'm glad to say that I watched the end of Qasr al Hob (what a bad way to end it) and I'm excited to hear about new turkish (or even egyptian) dramas.
I'm looking forward to hear about what you have to say and I'm sure your articles will be great as usual! Keep up the great work and awesome writing and talk to you soon! Keep me updated!
Ramadan Mubarak! :~D

And your blog was blocked!? Lol! Is it like in the UAE how they block a ton of websites? I wouldn't see why they'd block yours, but I'm glad you can access it now!
