The struggle for the land of Palestine is not just a battle for territory, but a fight for the very soul of our identity. (…) For as long as the olive trees continue to stand and the palm trees still sway in the breeze, the spirit of Palestine will endure, a testament to the resilience of a people who refuse to be silenced.

Where the demential blindfolded hostaged hearts of the western zionist regimes are seeing -or pretending to see- and trying for all meaningss that we too see like them “Hamas terrorists” in every person, every place, every action, in the hospitals, in the ambulances, in the elderly, in the babies, in everything …
… how not to see poets ? the words of many dive deep in their connection to their soul-land, awaken an unavoidable poesie that is everywhere … The tended remembers of meaningfull lives who adore what the nature gave them, a precious mutual relation, a flowering of a place, a landscape of beauty, florishing of people and earth, a melody of polen in the air, places for love and birds …
The gazans could in the harshest situation, living under siege and deprivations, under regularly bombardments, ciclically rebuilding their “paradise”, mourning their losses, and continue the steadfastness resistance possible: florishing in all meanings.
It is easy to see what I am describing: watch their speeches, pay attention to their words, read their poems, tales, articles … in every one there is a simple or complex beauty inmanent to their narratives, it depends perhaps of the education, talent, context, own will, own chose … but clearly bright there an infinite love for the life and their beauty, without discrimination, to all beauty and life.
I can´t said the same about the zionist people: hate is everywhere. The hate of people without connection to Pachamama, Mother Earth.
When you hear from indigenous people a word that is not first and for all meanings, a huge THANKS ? … for the life, for the water, for the trees, for the birds and the stars, for the moon and the sun, for the clothes that protect them from the cold, for the forces who build the universe and take care of the balance of all beings …
As Laureen Booth said, the israelis have a fixation to destroy the land: thousands and thousands of olive trees unearthed (something so precious for the palestinians), this is a sign that these people have no connection to the land, to these lands … they are alliens there. Cristal clear.
How long we will leave the poets and their childrens without protection from the hatred of an army of demons? The israelis like so much to weaponize The Bible, but they only see in their twisted greed what they want to find there, to serve to their plans. They are far from having a holy connection to the source of life: hate and fear and greed togethers are a killing coctel, a destructive drug to be avoid, but not to be drunk of it.
A drug and an illness that they are trying to spread in the world: the politicians were captured (well, they are easily captured for everything that comes with money and positive perspectives for their corrupted carriere) or posed to be … sometimes I ask me if there are somebody inside these spoken wax-puppets ? Who knows …
But the gazans do what they can to preserve some of the paradise alive, specially for their childrens …
