The Tears of Gaza 2009
No one had the right to destroy this...
Palestine has been burnt into all our souls
the suffering has shown us all who prevailed
and until we learn to love our fellow humans
this anguished cry still rings out. "Palestine!"
Cried from the children, from all 400 that died
till all the world is filled with this cry
for a people that refused to roll over and die.

Gaza war crimes investigation

This included the collective punishment of an entire…
