Palestine and Palestinians will prevail

Live on to tell this horrible tale

Humanity has failed

Our fates so frail

Faith however, its strength will hail

Hope and resilience, our faith entails

Unanimity, a fight we shall not fail

Palestine and Palestinians will prevail

🇵🇸

what we are to do,

however, with our hearts

waiting and watching

-truly I do not know.

...

I tell you this

to break your heart,

by which I mean only

that it break open and never close again

to the rest of the world.

So utterly heartbreaking. There is no other word. These beautiful little children and their families who once laughed and played. "And still she went, “hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakil.”

The spirit and deep faith that can still break through leaves me in awe and in tears.

Thank you for the gift of this poem. I can in my heart imagine the little children as green birds, flitting and floating and soaring in God’s sky.

It does, and has for 76 years while pretending to be the victim.

Since day one I have watched this, and as hard it has been to see I have not let myself look away because Palestinians don't have a day of from the horror perpetrated by the IOF under the most hate-filled Israeli government yet and tgd others were bad enough, especially once the racist zionist Netanyahu got in, may he rotten in hell where his lord and master resides.
