My cause- Om Kulthoum. My translation أغنية قضيتي- أم كلثوم

I have a gun now, so take me to Palestine To the gloomy sprouts like the sad face of Magdali To the green domes and the holy stones 20 years searching for a land, an ID, looking for my house over there for my Home chained with barbed wire I look for my childhood, my neighbourhood friends, my books, my photos, any warm nook, and every vase! To Palestine take me you brave men, I want to live or die like a man I now have a gun. Tell whoso asks about my cause, my gun is now the cause. I am now with the "wanted" rebels I lay on thrones and dust wearing the coffin of martyrdom I am with the rebels. I am with the rebels. The day I unsheathed my gun, Palestine had become meters away. Oh you rebels, in Jerusalem, Heron, Besan, Al Aghwar in Jericho, Bethlehem, and wherever you are, go ahead... advance... Palestine has only one road; breaking through the muzzle!

أصبح عندي الآن بندقية إلى فلسطين خذوني معكم إلى ربىً حزينة كوجه المجدلية إلى القباب الخضر والحجارة النبيَّة عشرين عاماً وأنا أبحث  عن أرضٍ وعن وهوية أبحث عن بيتي الذي هناك عن وطني المحاط بالأسلاك أبحث عن طفولتي وعن رفاق حارتي عن كتبي عن صوري عن كل ركن دافئٍ وكل مزهرية إلى فلسطين خذوني معكم يا أيها الرجال أريد أن أعيش أو أموت كالرجال أصبح عندي الآن بندقية قولوا لمن يسأل عن قضيتي بارودتي صارت هي القضية أصبح عندي الآن بندقية أصبحت في قائمة الثوار أفترش الأشواك والغبار وألبس المنيّة أنا مع الثوار أنا من الثوار من يوم أن حملت بندقيتي صارت فلسطين على أمتار يا أيها الثوار في القدس في الخليل في بيسان في الأغوار في بيت لحمٍ حيث كنتم أيها الأحرار تقدموا ... تقدموا .. إلى فلسطين طريق واحد يمر من فوهة بندقية

Malleableizing Intransigence is but a tactical war.

I have translated this Article from Arabic into English.

The original article is by 

Editor in chief- Maan News, Naser Allaham.

 Editor in chief- Maan News, Naser Allaham,

The Palestinian National Authority doesn't seek armed struggle or Intifada, but It doesn't want to loose the public opinion as well.
Israel is not aiming to bring Hamas's rule down in Gaza. However, they want to break Hamas's arrogance.
Israel is not seeking to destroy the PNA in West Bank, yet they won't let it reach the final state.
America won't let Israel down, but they want to teach Netanyahu a hard lesson.
Europe hasn't changed it's attitude towards Israel, but they only criticise Israeli's methodology.
the UN is chained by America's rule, but they only try to justify their deeds in the area.
The Quartet cannot admit failure, but they keep Blair for a Scarecrow in the middle of the "field"
Hamas refuses to abdicate Gaza, but they left the rule for Alhamdallah to run Gaza.
Alhamdallah is to be the head of the Unity Government , yet he won't bear Gaza's responsibility.
Egypt doesn't want to get involved in any case related to Hamas, but they bent down to the ceasefire appeal of president Abbas.
The Muslim Brotherhood have lost Egypt, Libya, Tunis, and Jordan, yet they won Qatar, Turkey, and Gaza.
The PLO seeks peace with Israel, but Israel does not in return.
Russia don't want to be involved in nonstop Arab issues, but they haven't relinquished Syria.
The Arab League won't dare to provoke the "rich countries", but they are ready to mourn for the poor ones!
The end of war against Gaza and the ceasefire in inevitable, but the big question is who is going to pay the bill for rebuilding Gaza and how the siege would be broken.
 All this destruction and death Gaza has witnessed didn't break any rule of the Game, yet it would pave the way for an international conference Iran participates in to reshape the new powers and roles. Henceforth, America will seek their security and Israeli's as well throughout relieving the Palestinian case, so the Arab countries will be free from the toothache (Gaza) once and for all and they devote themselves for their inner conflicts in order to rearrange the rules for further years to come.
I have asked one of the senior western diplomats: How much time would America need to maintain this state of the world?
With no blink of hesitation, he answered: I think 10 years would be enough to change all the Arab regimes and to create and generation with new thinking methodologies.

فخر الفلسطيني

أنا ابن الجراح لتسمع
أنا ابن الكمد لتركع،
لكبريائي شامخات وتخنع
أنا فلسطيني، و أرفع،
رايات عز بلادي و أترفع
هويتي عنواني، وبها أقمع،
لسان حاسد او خائن يتقرقع

ترابنا بالتاريخ يتكلم ويصدع
ودمنا فوق غيمات السما يصطع
نعيش على أرض بالرجال تنبع
واذا ما نادتنا الوغى نحن لها أبضع

قل ما شئت، وبالتاريخ تصنَّع
شرفنا رفيع و بأيدينا المستقبل نصنع
نحن هنا بالصمود نتغنى وننجع
قلوبنا برغم القهر من العالم أشجع

زائرنا بالسهل على قلوبنا يتربع
وجدنا بالعز غدانا وفينا ترعرع
نحن هاهنا باقون و أبدا لن نركع!

To a lost leg! #GazaUnderAttack

Why so wan and pale, 
your left leg walks on a memory,
lost between clouds and dust.
The other leg wipes the sorrows under.
How old are you?, I ask.
How old am I? You answer.
Where are your family and friends?
Where is the world? you answer.
Live free or die hard my brother,
their wasps will no longer bother.

To a lost leg!

يوم موتٍ في غزة

وكأنَّ القمر إنشق
وحتى النهار وَسَق
ومن أروحنا طلع الشَّفق
والساق بالساق إلتصق
ورَكِبَنا العدو طبقا عن طبق

ربنا اغفر وارحم وانتصر
وافتح السماء بجمر منهمر
على قاتل النبي وللطفل محتقر

اجعلنا اللهم من أهل اليمين
وثبت أقدامنا وانصرنا على الكافرين
فإن متنا فانين، إليك مردودين
فتوفنا اللهم برحمتك مسلمين!

يومُ موتٍ في غزة

The Israeli aggression against the Palestinian civilians in Gaza is a total violation for all international moral and legal codes.

Israel commits genocide against the Palestinian Civilians. As a high party signatory to the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel has to abide to all the provisions of the convention and the International Community shall make Israel stop this massacre and stop being silent.

Here is Article 15 from the 4th Geneva Convention:
Article 15
Any Party to the conflict may, either direct or through a neutral State or some humanitarian organization, propose to the adverse Party to establish, in the regions where fighting is taking place, neutralized zones intended to shelter from the effects of war the following persons, without distinction:
a) wounded and sick combatants or non-combatants;b) civilian persons who take no part in hostilities, and who, while they reside in the zones, perform no work of a military character.
When the Parties concerned have agreed upon the geographical position, ad- ministration, food supply and supervision of the proposed neutralized zone, a written agreement shall be concluded and signed by the representatives of the Parties to the conflict. The agreement shall fix the beginning and the duration of the neutralization of the zone.
 

Moreover,
Israel violates all international treaties and moral values. The continuous aggression against the Gaza Strip committing genocides against civilians and demolishing inhabited houses is a prove for a total violation of all articles in the Fourth Geneva Convention 1949. It worth mentioning that Israel is one of the high parties signatory to the convention and the International Community bears responsibility in this violation, as they shall stop this aggression all by legal and moral values of the treaties signed.
Please Share this post for a legal awareness of our just cause.


Here is article 16 of the 4th Geneva Convention

Article 16 (Wounded and sick I. General protection):
The wounded and sick, as well as the infirm, and expectant mothers, shall be the object of particular protection and respect.
As far as military considerations allow, each Party to the conflict shall facilitate the steps taken to search for the killed and wounded, to assist the shipwrecked and other persons exposed to grave danger, and to protect them against pillage and ill-treatment.

ترجمة شعر ابراهيم طوقان: لا تسل عن سلامته. Poem for the Palestinian

Ask him not for his safety,
His soul is on his hand to fly
His woes changed his pillow into a coffin of his distress...

He's standing at the door 
Death runs from his roar

Sigh storms blushing from his bravery stud
Silent in state, speaks nothing but fire and blood
Whoso blames him for silence, braveness is born speechless...

Never blame him, as he saw fair hides in darkness
and His beloved homeland was left away shapeless 

A poem by the Palestinian, Ibrahim Toqan
Translated by Nael Khader

لا تَسلْ عن سلامتِهْ ** روحه فوق راحتِهْ
بدَّلَتْهُ همومُهُ ** كفناً من وسادِتهْ
هو بالباب واقفُ ** والرًّدى منه خائفُ
فاهدأي يا عواصفُ ** خجلاً من جراءتِهْ
صامتٌ لوْ تكلَّما ** لَفَظَ النَّارَ والدِّما
قُلْ لمن عاب صمتَهُ ** خُلِقَ الحزمُ أبكما
لا تلوموه قد رأى ** منْهجَ الحقِّ مُظلما
وبلاداً أحبَّها ** ركنُها قد تهدًّما

شعر للفلسطيني لابراهيم طوقان
