Qatar! Yes, Qatar, my childhood home, a country that’s very close to my heart. And I have to say, I was absolutely overjoyed when I heard the news two days ago. This is huge. It’s going to be the first time the World Cup gets hosted in the Middle East, and the event is surely going to help change the world’s perception of Arabs, and the region for the better.
Qatar did one hell of a job winning this bid. Their presentation to the FIFA voting body was simply brilliant (watch it all right here). Now, let’s just hope that the next 12 years don’t witness some crazy shit happening.
In case you haven’t hard, the documents that were recently released by WikiLeaks show that numerous Arab leaders have urged the United States to bomb Iran and stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
I don’t know, but it seems to me that my generation sometimes tends to look back at events like WW2 and assumes that they can’t and won’t happen during our lifetime. I really hope they don’t, but the developments in Iran’s situation aren’t comforting, and I think it’s just a matter of time before the showdown happens. Let’s hope it will be quick and not too destructive. Oh, and it better not be anytime close to the 2022 World Cup.
Fingers crossed!

Great to hear from you Drima. Congratulations for the 2022 world cup winning and hoping you all the best wishes.
Also, I can’t miss to say sorry for those less fortunate and still suffering torture inside jails. We will do our best to highlight their case until they freed. Keep the good work forward.
Thank you.
