Syria: What About the Palestinian Human Rights?
Written byAmira Al Hussaini
Majd Syria (Ar) writes: “Western countries show off their support for human rights.. at the time they turn a blind eye to the most basic rights of Palestinians – their right to live in an independent free state, with sovereignty, an army, a currency, language, identity and capital.

Dear President Obama
I enjoyed the Drama
Of your campaign and your fight
And your movement and flight
I really admired you
And your entire crew
For opposing the big war
And also rule of terror
I loved your words of wisdom
On your pathway to become
The president of USA
On this moment and this day
Unlike Candoleezza Rice
You sounded lovely and nice
I enjoyed your speeches
In big halls and big churches
Your speech on Dr King
Was very fascinating
I loved the passage you chose
And the way you did compose
The words from the scripture
In your wonderful lecture
You talked about the big wall
Which was so steep and tall
A wall that stopped all kinds
Unite in their hearts and minds
How the chorus and echo
Destroyed wall of Jericho
How the people’s unity
Destroyed evil and vanity
You talked about deficit
And you were explicit
Deficits of different sorts
In groups and in cohorts
You talked about empathy
The kindness and sympathy
You talked about civil right
And Dr King’s clean fight
Of his methods and his team
And his fantastic dream
Of his great compassion
And his love and his passion
How he forgave his jailers
And those dreadful rulers
How he pardoned all of those
Evils who used fire hose
Of the madness of segregation
And the chains of discrimination
Of people being in exile
In their own land and their isle
That the blacks and the whites
Both should have equal rights
That both the Jew and gentile
Should have the same lifestyle
The words you were firing
Were very inspiring
In your victory speech
You told everyone and each
No one can now argue
That his dream came true
You said those who support peace
You will certainly please
And those who tear the world down
They will face the crackdown
Where are you I can’t see?
There is a catastrophe.
Please come out of your shell
Gaza has turned into hell
It is worse than Montgomery
They are deprived and hungry
Innocent kids are slaughtered
Hundreds are killed and injured
Put an end to this nonsense
Please stop this offense
If in US and Germany
People can live in harmony
If in London and Paris
Jews and Muslims live in peace
So can a Jew in Jerusalem
Leave in peace with a Muslim
Please listen to Khatib
Who donated heart and rib
Of their child who was murdered
By a military coward
To children in Israel
For hope of peace and good will
Father said in this fashion
I want peace for everyone
There are millions on both sides
On either sides of divides
Who would like to coexist
And they would like to assist
Did you know that little boy?
Was playing with his toy
What sort of a self defence
Is this dreadful offence
These are the words of George Bush
To justify the ambush
The victims of 2nd World War
Don’t want to see this horror
The descent Jews and Muslims
Are sufferers and victims
My dear Muslim brothers
And also my good sisters
In their prayers every day
In a kind and caring way
Call a compassionate god
And the most passionate god
A god that is merciful
Lovely and beautiful
When they talk about Jihad
It means working very hard
So to become passionate
And the most compassionate
In the twenty first century
Guns and bombs are history
Just like King and Mandela
They believe in kind Allah
And will appeal to public
In every world republic
This is not the people’s war
We don’t believe in terror
The war is for super rich
Who target and aim to reach
Many thousand billions
That is many trillions
The Muslim kings and rich Jews
Do their utmost to abuse
The faith and the religion
In every and each region
They build and sell the rockets
But we go out of pockets
They use “Christian” Bush
To sell for them and to push
The big wall in Palestine
I don’t know how to define
Like that passage in Bible
Physically divides people
Come on “Dr Luther King”
Sound your horn so we can sing
Please please ring the bell
So we can march and sing well
And hope like Jericho wall
Will crumble and will fall
Unity is what we need
Please turn your words to deed
Make up your mind and decide
If you are on our side
Please stop this at once
And stop this nuisance
