We Are The Palestinians 2011

We are the Palestinians

We were the PLO

The labeled us as terrorists

for fighting for our homes

We live in refugee camps

...Our life's a daily hell

We fight against oppression

they call it Israel

From '48 to present day

We waited for the west

To help us win our freedom back

to bring us some redress

But with that US veto

And Israelis's pulling stings

In Hebron Gaza and beyond

were still waiting in the wings

And as for our opponents

Their heads are in the sand

They quote to us their bible

Claiming its their promised land

They call us anti Semites

They play on people fears

They lecture on fascists

We've been fighting them for year

And now we look at Libya

And all those NATO planes

Claiming that their fighting for

The freedom of our weans

But we can see their plain hypocracy

as they fly overhead

On their way to conquer Libya

There laughing at our deal

We are the The Revolution

we ARE the PLO

We've been driven out the Lebanon

Few place left to go

but our struggle will continue until Palestine is free

What we want’s a fair solution

We don't need your sympathy

What we want is revolution

We've had years of sympathy

For Bill Speirs (Paisley, Scotland)

and for Mooney Peace ( Ramallah, Palestine )

Both Alive and Kicking

It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding.

"This same story can be told by people from South Africa to South Asia; from Eastern Europe to Indonesia. It's a story with a simple truth: that violence is a dead end. It is a sign neither of courage nor power to shoot rockets at sleeping children, or to blow up old women on a bus.

"That's not how moral authority is claimed; that's how it is surrendered.

"Now is the time for Palestinians to focus on what they can build. The Palestinian Authority must develop its capacity to govern, with institutions that serve the needs of its people. Hamas does have support among some Palestinians, but they also have to recognize they have responsibilities. To play a role in fulfilling Palestinian aspirations, to unify the Palestinian people, Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, recognize Israel's right to exist."

That was part of President Barack Obama's message in Cairo to the Palestinians
