Fawdawi
Thank you, I just feel unable to say a word, you can't imagine how does it feel to be able to convey a message in another language. Have you done the translation yourself? I am sorry to ask beacause I do not read Spanish.
I owe a great deal to tlaxcala for translating my articles to other languages. Thank you Fawdawi again.

Well, nahida, it's so beautiful that I'll translate it once I've finished Iqbal's article.

Do you write regularly or was it just an inspiration day? Anyway, it's great!

GREAT
Thank you Fawdawi for your kind efforts. you can't imagine how much this would mean to their families and loved ones. The list of name is sooooooo long. But I had to add some to give those victims a human face.
Bless you for bringing their suffering to the Spanish speaking world.

No escape

In my heart dwells the pain of the oppressed
Rivers of their wounds pour down
Drenching the ocean of my sorrow

I am the voice of the voiceless
The howl of little ones as they fade away

My whispers shoot like bullets
In the ears of the wicked
My words explodes
Before his eyes
Muting his lies

He looks away
Pretending not to see
Not to hear
My murmurs pierce his bubble
My tortured shadow follows
No escape

He runs to bed
Covers his head
Sleep might rid him of me

My chopped limps chases his dream
He drowns in my tears
In my blood
Unable to breathe
Unable to cry
No escape

Time passes… then he dies
Only to be greeted with my smile
He’d hoped he’d never see
As he was chained and taken away
To meet his deeds
No escape

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." — Joseph Stalin

We in the US always hear about the tragedies of Israeli suffering but hardly anything about the "meaningless" statistics of what happens to Palestinians.

It's almost as if someone is trying to control the narrative.

No one in this world shoud be treated unfairly, even if he is to be the biggest criminal.

But Israel is totally doing the opposit. They are occupying others land, and killing its people without any reason.

Their only non-reason which they and their supporters have is that they are permitting themselves to kill any person.. and to do whatever they can in order to keep them and their occupation safe.

Every thing is recorded and will never be forgotten, so no need to worry about that.

"Crystal Robert, Everytime an Israeli is killed, they talk about it for weeks!"

Is that before or after they hand out the candies?

Yes, Mary, I was cajoled into ME Peace too, can't believe it! Most disappointing – they are even having a messages of condolence thread for this bulldozer happening, pretty much 0000 for any Palestinian deaths or torturing or the Omer case – it's very Zionistic.

I will post this up on Digg, if it not already done but for future reference Iqbal – I will alter the title a little, maybe, A Dead Palestinian – Will You Remember My Name? I reckon it helps on Digg say, if you have Israel, (i), Palestine (ian) or Gaza in the title, which ideally, no more than 60 characters long. & of course, I have posted this on your Supporting Palestinian Prisoners facebook (zionist) group.

You should see the "Israel-Palestine "peace" board I got dragged into by a Palestinian friend, http://www.mepeace.org they never seem to care about things like Omer, prisoners, restrictions on rights such as that of Khalid's travel restrictions, but now they are even posting links so that we learn the life stories of the victims of this latest tragedy. It is just double standards, the lives of an Israeli Jew are more valuable to them (and to the West) than the lives of Arabs and Palestinians.

Please read what Gilad wrote on this event here on the blog. We were talking about how it may just have been a crime, a nut, like happens a lot of times even in the US, but the fact that it was an Israeli of Palestinian origin made it "certain" that it was a terrorist act… and that Ramon and Olmert will destroy the home that his family lived in… This is just as crazy and sick. And the West should stand up and say, "WAIT!" but they won't question the judgment of Israel, ever.

How true Iqbal! All last week, all we saw on TV in the West was the case of a Palestinian with bulldozer… Everytime an Israeli is killed, they talk about it for weeks! There is never a word mentioned on any news channel when the agression comes from Israel. They don't even mention the names of the dead! Not a word…

I will post it on Ottawa IndyMedia… One of the only places where I can publish in this country!

Love, peace & solidarity,

Crystal
