Rafeef Ziadeh recites her poem, Hadeel, on Remember Palestine (Video)

Fantastic poem by Rafeef Ziadeh on the short life of Hadeel. The child was killed by a zionist attack near her home. This poem makes me choke because it is about a child.

Zionists will have you believe that there so many child killings in Gaza because Palestinian parents use their children as human shields!

The Israeli government dismissed her death as the fault of so called terrorists even on that day the zionist occupation forces attacked out of the blue and no defender was in the area.

In the year 2010, the zionist occupation forces killed 26 Palestinian children in Gaza.

It does come down to dignity. And the human resistance to protect human dignity.

Thanks for the Star

The Palestinian people have got to be one of the most violated people in this world and their dignity as a people is breath taking. Look what happened during Katrina in the US; people fractured according to socio-economic grouping in one way and according to race in another. There even maurading police murdering in stead of saving lives.

The Palestinians have more phds per head of population than any other society in this world and even more than their chosenite oppressors.

I don't know if anyone has posted about this yet. Jan 19, Democracy Now!

Gaza Doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish Two Years After Israeli Attack that Killed 3 Daughters & Niece: "As Long as I am Breathing, They are with Me. I Will Never Forget"
Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish was a well-known Palestinian gynecologist who spent years working in one of Israeli’s main hospitals. On January 16, 2009, two days before the end of Israel’s brutal 22-day assault on Gaza, his home was shelled twice by Israeli tanks. His three daughters and his niece were killed. He has just written a book about his life called I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor’s Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity. He joins us in our studio for an extended conversation.

I think I'll watch that interview.

Yes I saw in tv that Palestinian doctor's predicament and the way the zionist occupation forces killed his daughters was weird and seriously sadistic.

This Palestinian doctor had his family living in Gaza and he would drive to Israel on a daily basis to work in an Israeli hospital to treat Israelis. Then some liberal zionist media types interviewed him on Israeli tv to discuss the then current siege on Gaza.

The zionist forces then deployed a couple of tanks facing his family home and shelled it killing his daughters. When he was being escorted out of the studio in Israel, zionists civilians met him outside to howl in derision and to curse him.

This Palestinian doctor thought he could over come the hate and live a life untouched by the zionist yoke. He was mistaken.

I noticed at the end of the interview with Amy Goodman, that he now lives in Toronto. That is sad.
