Never forget their suffering. I plan to gradually share content on Filasteen here - just some things that I’ve collected over the years. This is to help everyone remember what the Zionutsos have done. Their occupation and oppression has gone on for FAR TOO LONG. We know about the Nakbas in Filasteen! We know about the oppression in the West Bank! We know that Ghazzah has been a concentration camp and under their siege for years now! Not days, not months, YEARS! This MUST be on our collective conscience! We can’t forget this utter injustice on our brothers and sisters (on fellow human beings regardless of the colour of their skin or hair or eyes). The ruling authority in Europe and beyond, those primarily of European descent, have turned a blind eye to all that has been happening there because the Zionutsos belong to their “race”, even though the Zionutsos would not even blink an eye at any issue of theirs as soons as their interests diverge. Also, what have we been able to do for the Filasteeni people anyways? Are we not ashamed? Have we been able to protect them? Has anyone taken up arms and subdued the rabid Zionutso hyenas in the form of men and women who kill and rape our brothers and sisters - young or old - alike? How dare they treat our kind and patient people like pests?! May God’s eternal wrath be upon this devilish nation who jest at the suffering of the oppressed. May the tears of the oppressed turn into eternal smiles and the laughter of the oppressors turn into eternal tears.
With all this said, something must be done and something - anything - good is better than nothing good. Do what you can. Gifts/donations/alms-tax, speaking up, supplicating for them and invoking curses upon their enemy (and all enemies of our collective everywhere), and boycotting/divesting/sanctioning are probably the least we can (and should do).
Poetry
… এই পার্বত্য উপত্যকার
প্রতিটি পাহাড় চুড়ো ও পবিত্র স্তম্ভগুলোর শপথ, শপথ
পবিত্র কাবা তাওয়াফকারী এখানে উপস্থিত প্রতিটি
নর-নারীর। যদি দলবদ্ধভাবে একবার, শুধু একবার এমনকি
নিরস্ত্রভাবেও একবার। যদি।
আমার দেশ প্যালেস্টাইন। শত্রু অধিকৃত একটা শহর। আপনাদের
প্রথম কেবলা। একবার যদি ভাইগণ।
আর কুদ্ সের দিকে মুখ ফেরান, একবার।
হাতে হাত। এহরামের শ্বেতবস্ত্র সেলাইবিহীন। একবার। শুধু
হাঁটতে হাঁটতেও চলে যান। তবে
সামনেই জেরুসালেম, আমার প্রিয়নগরী,
বিজয় ।
কবি: আল মাহমুদ, কবিতা: মীনার প্রান্তরে ইয়াসির আরাফাত, বই: একচক্ষু হরিণ (১৯৮৯)
An aging heart, the reign of hollow men,
A generation weaned on cruel defeat –
God’s help is near, but how, dear Lord, and when?
Though faith is firm, Earth shakes beneath my feet.Online I turn: a joke, an orphan’s cry.
With paralyzed confusion, I’m afraid
My heart’s grown cold; my tears have all run dry;
My hope’s abstract; my truths are all clichéd.But God is as His slave expects He be:
The Lord of saints and miracles is here.
When Palestine withstood the enemy,
Despite myself, my eyes welled up with tears.My hope’s restored. For this, I offer thanks
And pray I’m slain for God amongst their ranks.
Moustafa Elqabbany, Hope’s Redemption
Complaints
We often complain about many things in our life but when we look at this age of pain that they’ve endured, it should make us wonder: what right do I even have to complain? May Allāh relieve them swiftly of this blatant injustice – however He wills and by whose hands He wills. ʾÃmīn ya Karīm.
Supplication
Don’t forget the suffering of the people of Filasteen who are under an inhumane siege in Ghazzah and those of them under a brutal regime in the West Bank region. May Allah (‘azza wa jalla jalaluhu) assist them. O Allah! Liberate the people and grant them respite. O Allah! Ease their pain and suffering. Ameen. Collected from Facebook. Edited slightly.
Chants
"From the river to the sea, Filasteen will be free!"
Long live Filasteen! Down with the baby-killing devils occupying it!
Finally, thank you for your time and patience. May peace be with you. ʾÃmīn.
