This land gives us
all that makes life worth living:
April's blushing advances,
the aroma of bread at dawn,
a woman's haranguing of men,
the poetry of Aeschylus,
love's trembling beginning,
moss on a stone
mothers dancing on a flute's thread
and the invaders' fear of memories.
This land give us
all that makes life worth living:
September's rustling end,
a woman leaving forty behind with her apricots,
an hour of sunlight in prison,
clouds reflecting swarms of insects,
a people's applause for those who laugh at their erasure,
and the tyrant's fear of songs.
This land give us
all that makes life worth living:
Lady Earth, mother of all beginnings and endings,
She was called Palestine
and she is still called Palestine.
My Lady, because you are my Lady, I deserve life.

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.
