Habib Siddiqui: From Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh in Bethlehem

Palestine Shames Many

Gaza, O Gaza, your lessons are plain,

You strip the masks from faces of the vain.

Through suffering deep and martyr’s last breath, You shame the merchants of war, racism, and death.

You shame the rulers who sell their souls, To blackmail masters with greedy goals.

You shame the masses who look away,

While children’s blood cries out each day.

You shame the ruthless profiteers of war, The Arab kings groveling at empire’s door.

From Riyadh’s crown to Emirates’ sand,

Puppet states carved by a foreign hand.

You shame false leaders with seats and gold, Who broke the cause, who bartered, sold.

You shame the pious who chant in prayer, Yet commit the sins and show no care You shame the secular who preach of right, Yet back the killers, or hide from sight.

Palestine’s suffering lights the flame,

Exposing evil, calling it by name.

O land of martyrs, you may stand accused, Yet, it is the callous world which refused.

To see twenty thousand children whose souls implore— They shame all collaborators and the silenced forevermore.

----------------------------

Palestine Honors Many

Palestine honors the slain,

From Jesus nailed to Gaza's pain.

From those who bled on Calvary’s tree,

To babes maimed and killed for the world to see.

It honors the brave who give their breath, Who faced oppression, who mocked death.

Who fight the tyrant, resist the chains, Against apartheid & empire’s gains.

It honors the fighters, the bold, the true, Who battle so evil won’t master you.

It honors the rebels in every form,

who boycott, protest, or face the storm.

It honors the ones who bring us light,

Who stand for justice, who dare to fight.

From nations countless, they march, send the call Refusing silence and won't let Gaza fall.

It honors each action, both small and grand, A ship sailing, a voice, a banner, a helping hand.

It honors the children, both scarred and martyred dead, and the maimed, the living, the hungry, by faith fed.

Palestine honors its friends anew,

Palestine respects all - and that means you.

From the river to the sea

Palestine and humanity will be free

Palestine honoring Jane Goodall who died age 91 and who had spoken out against the atrocities. Her work inspired millions and not just biologists like me. She made observations on chimpanzee behaviour that helped understand human behavior. She noted that the most successful chimp leaders were gentle, caring and familial. Males that tried to rule by asserting their dominance through violence, tyranny and threat did not last. Here is her take on Donald Trump

Protests broke out in many cities around the world on Wednesday night after the ships were pirated and the peace activists kidnapped by Israeli terrorists (my friend calls them IOFucks). In response to the attack on the flotilla, Italy’s two largest labor unions announced a nationwide general strike for Friday covering all public and private sectors.
