Since 1967, that’s how long we’ve been homeless. That’s how long our voices have been suppressed, that’s how long its been since a Palestinian was called “Palestinian” instead of a terrorist.
48 years ago, the world witnessed one of the greatest catastrophe known to man where all the powers of the world conspired to rid the land of Palestine from its ancestral roots. Yesterday, the world yet again witness the rebirth of the identity that’s known as being Palestinian.
The raising of the Palestinian flag is symbolic for the simple fact, it means we are still here. We are still persevering, we are still resisting, we are still under occupation, we are still the problem that no one wants to solve, we are still standing, and we will rise again as a nation, as a state, as a true partner, a true leader in the middle eastern world, we are the people of Peace (Salam).
We are the Palestinian People!
Man, Woman, Boy, Girl, whoever you are,
We are the children of war,
Grew up to the sound of terror,
Listened to music to mute out the evil world,
Yet the world is in our face,
And we accept it with Grace,
Where are you peace (salam),
The world needs you today,
We are still your neighbors,
Talk to us,
Work with us,
Live with us,
Play with us,
Go to the beach with us,
And let the sea set us free,
We are the people of peace,
Not people of war!
Salam
