Can anyone see some ethical flaws with that?

Nahida Izzat – I believe in Miracles

By Nahida Izzat • Dec 11th, 2008 • Category: Features, Israel, Music, Poetry, Events, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

You can break my bones
My free spirit is invincible
You can cause me the loss of sight
The light of my insight
You’ll never take away
In the shadows of darkness
Lies the corpse of your might
You can destroy my house
The windows of my hope,
You cannot break
The pillars of my faith
You can never shake
You can threaten me
With weapons of death
And [...]

By Nahida Izzat • Aug 15th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Uprooted Palestinians' Testimonies, Zionism

To the zionist thieves:
If the zionist occupiers truly want peace… peace is nigh
Glamorous writings, pretence of humanity, lengthy debates, polished sentences, and cloak oneself with fake peace lyrics, cannot conceal the SIMPLE REALITY:
The ONLY way to PEACE is through JUSTICE
All they have to do is to GIVE BACK ALL stolen land and property
Palestine should be [...]



Nahida Izzat – Alice in Holy-Land

By Nahida Izzat • May 14th, 2008 • Category: Children's Corner, Features, Israel, Music, Poetry, Events, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

Alice was falling up, then rising down
With a quantum leap, transcending
Into a parallel universe
Were every thing is upside down
And nothing is what it seems to be
In a forgotten land, once called Palestine
In this land of wonders, Alice saw
Murderers get Nobel peace prizes
Thieves are the guardians
Of peace and security
War criminals are the law
In this land of [...]

Photo from Free Gaza, one of many photos of the people of Gaza.
Beloved people of Gaza
Treasured people of Palestine
Teachers of courage and dignity
Archetype of humanity
Allow me to kneel down
And wash your feet with my tears
Kiss your blessed hands
And sprinkle your beautiful faces with musk and roses
While we sat pondering like fools
Utterly helpless
Talking much and doing [...]
