How Can I?

Look at me

I would love to write poetry about love,

Paint rainbows and butterflies,

Roll in a meadow

Enchanted by rosebud scent

Run down the hills with open arms

Embrace the Earth

Inhale the sky

 

I would love to dance for love;

Twirl with jubilant nightingales

Swept off my feet

Besotted, entranced

As I sing my lullaby

 

 

I would love to dream of love, stretch my wings

 Taste the clouds, touch infinity as I fly

Watch prophets pray

Hear angels sing

Bathe in light, a Heavenly delight

Roam the cosmos before I die

 

 

I would love to sing for love

Fling open the gates of my soul

Invite the world in

Tuck it all under my wings

Rock back and forth

Caress its wounds

Whisper “I love you”

Watch it heal before my eyes

 

 

I would love to close my eyes and see children smiling

Tell them stories of lily-like fairies in far-away lands

No guns pointing at their heads

No bullets shrieking…. no missiles exploding

No blood, no burns, no broken limbs,

no prison bars, no tears, no sighs

 

I would love to embrace a baby,

Hold her safe, sway her gently in my arms

Stroke her face in tender love and astounding wonder

Teach her sweet words, mama, baba, habibi Allah

Look into her eyes in dazzling awe and whisper

My amazing grace,

You are my hope, you are my love, you are my joy

 You are my rainbow, you are my lilac and my amber

 

But

How can I?

 

There is a dagger in my heart

I am hurting

Hurting

I bleed,

I cringe

I cry

HUMANITY,
WHERE ARE YOU?

I am being slaughtered

Under your watchful eyes

I am cold… cold…. cold

I cringe

I cry

Humanity,
where are you?

Why do you turn your face away?

Why do you keep looking the other way?

I am here

Languishing

In Gaza’s alleyways

 

Humanity, where are you?

Look at me

See me

I am here

Sighing

In Gaza’s alleyways

I cringe

I cry

Humanity,

Enough turning the other way

Turning a deaf ear

Turning a blind eye

While I, and oh … my poor children
Die

It Didn’t Start on October 7

Evil Exposed

If they can do it to us with impunity, rest assured they can do it you too!

 

‘Kill Them All’

Before preaching to Palestinians about “peace”, “coexistence” and “one state for all”, try to find out what and who are we dealing with!

A funeral A Day!

And Still They Sing!

We came to your door, O Lord of lords

Refugees at your door, O Lord of lords

All of creation, O my Creator, have sold us for dust

* * *

A freedom fighter, his weapons, Allahu Akbar and a stone

Be Steadfast, endure the bombing, O noble Gaza, O dear

* * *

We take it upon ourselves to make justice prevail

Our heroic martyrs are not slain in vain, not slain in vain

* * *

You have this covenant from us, we will not betray

You, O land of olives, land of peace

Steadfast we remain, steadfast we remain

* * *

We came to your door, O Lord of lords

Refugees at your door, O Lord of lords

All of creation, O my Creator, have sold us for dust

It is Not “Settler Colonialism”

* * *

“Settler colonialism” is a misnomer

It implies just a migration of some people to settle somewhere else

It sound normal, harmless and benign

It sounds soft, peaceful and inclusive

It sounds permanent, “here to stay”

What we have in Palestine, is not “settler colonialism”, what we have is no less than a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation of Historic Palestine which has to be terminated.

​Labeling it mere “settler colonialism” is an an attempt to whitewashing a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation.

In accordance with International Court of Justice 2004

1) Belligerent Occupation (military or otherwise) with which the occupied people don’t agree, i.e they resist, is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime

a) Since 1948, Palestinians have resisted the occupation of their land, hence under International law there is a Belligerent Occupation of Palestine.

b) This Belligerent Occupation of Palestine does not protect the rights the needs nor provides for them, to the contrary it has been oppressing, maiming, imprisoning, torturing, dispossessing, ethnically cleansing, killing them en mass them without a respite, ever since.

This is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime.
Belligerent Occupation of Palestine is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime

2) Settlements in occupied lands are Grave Breaches of International Law. Jewish Settlements in Palestine is a Grave breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime.

This is before even talking about the numerous massacres of Palestinians and the attempt to destroy their geography, history, culture and ancient civilization through the 75 years of belligerent occupation.

Since 1948 “israel” has been murdering, ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and since 7th October, 2023 it has been committing Barbaric Genocide in real time, and now being legally prosecuted for it in ICJ.

 

 

War Crimes engender the Right to Armed Resistance.
War Crimes engender legally protected right to armed resistance.

Hamas is a Resistance Movement, along with other Palestinian resistance movements, who are engaged in legally resisting the occupation and usurpation of their land, which is granted to them by International Law.

Hamas has been unlawfully and illegally labeled as “terrorist” by “israel” and its allies and even by some “anti-Zionists”.

Conclusion:
“israel” is not “settler colonialism”, but a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation of Historic Palestine which has to be terminated.

Hamas is not a “terrorist” organization but a legitimate Resistance Movement

 

Enough is Enough

.

This message does not follow a “standard” form of communication.

It is not smoothed by any concerns about anyone’s “sensitivities”, Jewish or not, amidst the live-streamed Genocide, and the screams of children of Gaza being slaughtered and burned alive by the Jewish state, its leaders, its soldiers and its racist supremacist society.

 

 

This note is not sugarcoated to be palatable to the taste of the “civilized, developed world” while the mouths of children of Gaza are blistering for a drop of non-salty water or a dry breadcrumb.

 

 

This note is raging with fury, the fury of  mamas and papas as they search for their torn children under the rubble, or when collecting the body parts of loved ones in plastic bags.

 

 

This note is deafening loud! As loud as the sound of  bombs exploding, setting Gaza ablaze, eradicating entire neighborhoods on the heads of their inhabitants and wiping them from the face of the earth.

 

 

This note is excruciatingly painful, as painful as the screams of the Gazan girl who saw her parents burn to death before her terror-struck eyes.

 

 

This note is trembling as the limbs of the little terrorised boy who lost his voice from the unspeakable horrors he’d seen.

 

 

This note is raw! as raw as the torn flesh of babies and the chopped limbs of little children Lying on the floor of bombed hospitals in Rafah and Jabalia.

 

 

This note is sickeningly bitter, as bitter as the taste of blood in the mutilated mouth of a dying  young mother in a refugee camp, leaving her newborn behind.

 

 

To whom it may concern, take note of my note.

STOP talking to us about “coexistence”.

What kind of ‘coexistence’ is possible with genocidal supremacists, who see you as mere animals, and are hellbent on annihilating you?

STOP talking to us about “one state with equal rights for all”.

What “rights” do an amalgamation of foreign genocidal invaders have in a land they usurped and disfigured?

Under what ethical code under the sun do they qualify for “equal rights” with a people they have oppressed and intend to exterminate for decades?

Should thieves, mass murders and criminals be granted the same rights to freedom as their victims?

 

STOP talking to us about “coexistence”.

 

STOP talking to us about “one state with equal rights for all”.

 

Cease and Desist.

 

 

After witnessing the horrific atrocities committed by the Jewish state and its accomplices in this war of Extermination, talking to Palestinians about “coexistence” or “one state with equal rights for all”, is far worse than mere insensitivity, cruelty or moral depravity.

 

 

Such calls for “coexistence and equal rights” make its advocates (wittingly or unwittingly) guilty of complicity and of aiding and abetting Genocide, for their preemptive move to secure a “future” for the perpetrators of Genocide alongside those whom they try to exterminate.

 

 

Such advocacy seeks to shield, protect and absolve the criminal Jewish “israeli” collective from facing justice, and to secure their future in Palestine, against the rights of Palestinians to whom they have shown no mercy, ever.

 

 

The insistence on advocating for “one state for all”, after witnessing the horrors of the last few months, proves without a shadow of doubt that loyalty to the tribe and the interests of the tribe supersedes any loyalty to truth, justice and humanity. It reflects a serious moral impairment that’s beyond redemption.

 

 

Genocidal supremacists have no right whatsoever to one centimeter of Palestine, a land they have desecrated and disfigured for decades, nor should they have any “equal rights” with a people whom they have tormented and massacred for a century.

 

 

They only rights those pathological liars, genocidal supremacists have is to be locked for life behind bars, to the end of their days, far far away from Palestine, and yes that includes leaders, soldiers and the collective who directly or indirectly, participated, aided in any shape or form this genocidal war.

 

Those who feel sympathy for the criminals are welcome to take them, rehabilitate them and “coexist” with them with “equal rights”, if they so wish.

 

This insane war has exposed what they have been trying for so long, so hard to hide.
It is the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

It is the last nail in the coffin of the future of Jewish “israelis” in the land of Palestine.

 

To be precise, they didn’t actually lose the “right” to be in Palestine, because they never had such “right” to begin with.

Palestinian collective do not consent to the usurpation of their land, they never did, they never will.

 

The Jewish state has proven to the world to be the worst manifestation of Jewish nationalism. It gave the world a glimpse of what a collective of Jewish nationalists can do and what it looks like… Terrifying.

 

 

But I have a promise to make.

By the time Jewish “israelis” wake up from their sadistic drunken state of obscene violence, their nightmare will begin.

They will discover how fiercely, vehemently and ferociously they are rejected by everyone around, and the only one to blame for this, is themselves.

The wise amongst them should read the writing on the wall, heed the call, renew old passports, pack up and leave, before its too late.

 

“Get the hell out of Palestine”

 

Oh But “israel” Doesn’t Kill Children

By now, if you are still supporting “israel”, you are complicit in committing Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity
