Singing With Aisha

Handala: Hey, you must be Aisha! I’m Handala, nice to meet you. 

Aisha: Hi, you know my name! Do you know everything about me too?

Handala: Almost! I know that you got shot by an Israeli sniper just outside your uncle’s house in Khan Yunus . 

Aisha: He shot me in the chest 3 times. My uncle said the soldier was looking to kill babies.

Handala: I watched a video with that soldier.

Aisha: Whaat!

Handala: Oh, yeah, he said he killed a 12 year old girl. He was laughing, but  it wasn’t funny at all.  

Aisha: Can’t believe that , may I watch it? 

Handala: are you sure you want to see it ? It’s awful and hurts!

Aisha: Yes

After watching the video, Aisha became upset and started crying 😢

Handala: So sorry, I knew, it’s not easy.

Aisha: yeah, he was too happy, it’s hard to watch …

Handala: Child killers! You are not on your own, I saw many kids who were shot by the IOF.

Aisha: You’re shot too? 

Handala: No, I left Palestine when I was 10 and stayed like that. Let’s stop talking about shooting.

Aisha: Okey, no worries, do you have any hobbies?  

Handala:  I used to draw cartoons, but I stopped doing it. You like music, right ?

We stand firmly against injustice in all its forms. Nothing can justify the current war crimes committed by Israel in occupied Palestine. Equally, nothing can excuse the continued support offered by other nations to this apartheid regime. If you believe in human rights, dignity, and justice, then we urge you to boycott this rogue state. Silence is complicity, do what’s right.
