As the dawn of a new year awaits, I hope for a better world, a better life, and a better future. This New Year's Eve, I will not wish anyone a Happy New Year, instead, I will wish that you all be awake enough to see what's going on and take a stand for the right side.
Human lives are priceless, and innocent human lives even more so. While I do wish that your upcoming year be prosperous and full of blessings, at the same time, I wish for my brothers and sisters in Palestine to see the dawn of freedom, peace, and hope. My prayers are with you; the children of Palestine, the families of Palestine, the Muslims, Christians, and Jews of Palestine, the mothers who have lost their children, the children who have been orphaned, the men who wish to see a day as bright and clear of any air strikes, the students who stand in front of demolished schools yearning to go back to a life told only in tales of their ancestors, the patients who await treatment in the very few remaining hospitals, the people who are displaced from their homes but are still resolute in their faith and continue to struggle.
My prayers are with you, and with you shall remain.
There is only one thing I will chant instead of chanting the New Year's arrival.
Free Palestine.
