Song for Gaza

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Sesetengah orang yang mengaku Muslim tidak merasakan perlunya menyelami perasaan saudara seagama di Palestin.
Tiada rasa kebersamaan.

Sedihnya.

Mereka hanya sibuk mengutuk. Kalau bukan Israel dan Amerika yang dikutuk, negara-negara Arab yang menjadi mangsa kutukan.

Tin kosong.

Bunyi saja kuat. Isinya tiada.

Kalau pejuang kemanusiaan yang kafir sanggup merantau ke Palestin untuk membantu umat Islam di sana, kita bagaimana.

Fikir sendiri.

Small things that we can do

Melawan Israel dan Amerika adalah tanggungjawab kita.
Melindungi dan menyayangi saudara Islam kita di Palestin adalah kewajipan kita.

Hakikatnya, kita tidak mampu melawan Israel dan Amerika secara fizikal.
Yang kita mampu hanya berdemonstrasi, membakar bendera, (membaling kasut), etc.

Namun kita mampu melawan mereka secara halus; melalui ekonomi.
Kerana kuasa membeli barangan di tangan kita.

Sekurang-kurangnya, kita mengambil tindakan,
bukan sekadar duduk, membaca akhbar, berasa sedih, mengutuk, dan sbgnya.

Keep watching even if it makes you puke

Nice picture? Yeah. Quite dramatic. Nice to look at, isn't it?

But no one could tell the story behind this picture.

Would people know that this is actually a result of the smoke from three days of Israeli air strikes against Hamas militants, blending with brewing storm clouds to create a dramatic sunset over the Palestinian territory on December 29, 2008 viewed from Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.

People say, a picture tells a thousand words.

So, why don't we have a look at a few more, ok? Keep looking even if it makes you puke, because life isn't just about happiness, entertainment, holiday, shopping, etc..

We must be dumb to not know about the Palestinian issue. It is clearly the largest open air prison in the world.

And we must be dumber if we don't do a thing to help them. For instance, join the boycott campaign, or make donations (through Aman Malaysia, Human Appeal, etc).

And my dear Muslim brothers and sisters, do pray for the Palestinians.

May Allah strengthens their hearts and gives them victory.
