Did you know that the same America who celebrated Malala is supplying Israel to kill thousands of Palestinian kids? What's happening in Palestine is something that's unforgivable. Children killed, women raped, men imprisoned without trials. Yet the whole world turns a blind eye towards the Palestinians. People are blinded by the deceiving media. By the world cup. By the statement made by our beloved American President: "We will continue to support Israel's self defense". Shame that people still do not know the difference between terrorism and self defense. Who illegally occupied Palestinian land? Who made them refugees in their own land? Who has been getting war supplies and billions of dollars from America? Who has been breaking all the international laws regarding war? All that in the name of self defense? Shame, Israel. Such a shame. And America, stupidly supporting their pretext of "self defense". Insane? Anyone with brains can see that it is a stupid argument. Seriously. You occupy a land, you murder its inhabitants and when they protest you plan a genocide. And that's self defense? If anyone has the right to fight in the name of self defense, it's Palestine. Not bloodthirsty, war-loving, terrorising Zionist Israel. The people who were themselves victims of a horrible genocide doing much worse to another people. It's just too much. Sitting atop hills and cheering at each blast. Laughing when innocent people are dying. I wonder what excuse you are going to give when God asks you. You'll answer for this one day. And that day no one can save you.
Victory is soon. That's our Lord's promise. This world is only a short term gain. Hell is eternal. Don't forget that.
People, open your eyes to the truth! Stand up for Palestine. Stand up for Gaza.
I felt compelled to write this poem for Gaza after hearing news after news of air strikes by Israel. It is edited by my dear sister, Nasooha.
O Gaza
O Gaza, do not waver
Fear not the bombs
The mines, the missiles
The cruel inhuman Israelites
Do not cry out
To this deaf dumb world
These men who sit and watch the show
Their talks of peace
Hollow words
Their eyes so blind
To innocent blood
Children dying, children dead
Little boys beaten up and burnt
Place your trust in Allah your Lord
Cry out loud
To the Merciful God
This blessed month of Ramadan
Every single wound,
Every drop of blood,
Every tear, every death
Shall be your strength,
Your hope for Jannah,
The Promised Land
Injustice one day
Will have to be answered for
The day they wake
Startled from their graves
When it's too late
To repent and return
Then shall you see justice served
What is this life
Next to The Promised Land,
That eternal abode
Jannah, our home, our hope
What is this pain, this trial
When in eternal bliss you smile
Never forget Allah's promise
Verily with hardship comes ease
O Gaza, may help divine
Come and lift you up very soon
Your courage makes me look down in shame
Your grief tears my heart apart
With you I weep
Your sorrows mine
O Gaza keep
Your spirits high!
Najiya
