Mar-02-2012 11:09TweetFollow @OregonNews Solving the Problem?Poetry by Nahida Izzat Salem-News.comNahida Izzat's poem discusses what is known in right-wing circles as, 'The problem of Palestinians!'
(LONDON) - It is hard to understand how the problems faced by Palestinian people grew so far out of control. The oppressors are supported and funded by American and British citizens who assume an unequivocal sense. They treat the Palestinians, a dignified, intelligent, kind and resilient people, like animals. They are made to pay the price for a terrible event known as 'The Holocaust' and they claim the history as theirs when in reality, one did not have to be Jewish to experience the wrath of the Third Reich. They only had to disagree, or encourage discontent, or dare to claim that the white race was not superior. Still, perhaps the most puzzling part of all, is the fact that any group of people who suffered injustice to the extent that the Jews did, would not learn the supreme, ultimate lesson; that no human beings are deserving of genocide and racial bias, deadly hatred, and zero security for their future. Nahida's poem below, makes these points and many more. They talked about
“Democracy” Behind closed doors In big dark rooms Men in black and grey Eating, drinking Laughing and chatting away Gather to discuss our problem The problem of Palestinians! ***
They talked about
“Democracy” “Freedom” “Human rights” And a “solution” ***
“We can easily solve this. . .
If only. . . If only. . . Those terrorists Would stop their violence” They concluded
***
“And as for the refugees
That’s no problem ***
Those “civilized”
“Freedom lovers” Did they not know *** Did they not know
That A child, Who grew up Far… far away Deprived of the love ***
-- “To smile when confronted with the most severe oppression, is an act of Resistance rooted in unparalleled beauty.” ~ Jonathan Azaziah "And I, a Palestinian from occupied Palestine, refuse to sharemy homeland with Zionist colonizers" ~ Reham Alhelsi "Facts" do NOT need laws to enforce or defend them, what they need is research to prove or disprove them" “When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either cease being mistaken, or cease being honest.” _________________________________
Nahida Izzat is a Jerusalem-born Palestinian refugee who has lived in exile for over forty two years, after being forced to leave her homeland at the tender age of seven in 1967, during the six-day war. She has a degree in mathematics, but art is one of her favorite pastimes. She loves hand-made things and so makes dolls, cards, and most of her own clothes. She also writes poetry, participates in written dialogues and believes in building bridges, not walls. She started writing when her friends insisted she should write about her memories, experiences and feelings as a Palestinian.When she did it all came out sounding—she was told—like poetry! So she self-published two books: I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story. Her dream is to return back home to a free and liberated Palestine.
