Heavenly Souls


Share

Inspired by my beautiful young cousin with the most loving vibrant colourful soul ♥️ Nadine ♥️ and praying for her speedy recovery. Nadine is severely injured and in a very critical condition after being hit by a car while on her motorcycle Please pray for her and her family

 

 

Dazzling light of heavenly souls forever glows

Never dims with aches and pains

Not even death can extinguish or contain

No matter how long or short their earthly stay

They leave their mark wherever they go

Infectious smile gifted to all

 

A heavenly scent, a spark divine

Healing the broken, helping the frail

Lifting the fallen, guiding the foe

Inspiring those with injured souls

 

 

Of what they’re given never withhold

In all humility and gratitude

Sprinkle their love, boundless to all

 

Thoughts on One Democratic State


Share

Some activists are worried that my passion for justice and my advocacy for full restoration of Palestinians’ inalienable rights might “alienate” some Jewish supporters. They claim Palestinians desperately need Jewish support.

To them I have this to say:

Palestine has now been under the heel of violent foreign rulers since a full Century. Palestinians have always been eager to get international support, including from Jews. Since a full century, the naturally trustful Palestinians were grateful and delighted to give a platform to whomever showed the slightest interest in their cause. Tragically, this resulted in our authentic Palestinian narrative being gradually silenced. Genocidal atrocities since a century are ongoing. Our will to self-determination is untamed. Our Right to be sovereign inside our own land, is intact. Our historic, cultural and national identity, is as strong as ever. Yet all is more or less silenced.

Today we have the terribly dangerous situation where the authentic Palestinian narrative is so absent, that it has never been truly heard or appreciated in the West.

Every time an uncompromising authentic Palestinian voice steps up assertive and strong, it is quickly muffled and tucked away, as to not offend Jewish supporters or to not scratch their sensitivities.
Unconditionally and almost religiously pro-Palestinian organizations have sought Jewish approval in every event, every talk, ever letter, every petition, every motion and every campaign. This went on for decades. I know it from first hand experience, and also from the many Palestinians who echo this same disturbing experience almost globally.

Whenever an authentic Palestinian voice steps out of the narrow confinement of such censored discourse, they are immediately reprimanded and told in no uncertain terms that they have crossed the lines defined by Jewish “supporters”. When a Palestinian refuses to be terrorized by such Thought Police, he or she faces defamation, blacklisting, ostracism, and even threats.

On the day of signing of Oslo agreement, I remember sitting on the staircase in shock, sobbing for the rest of the day, for I knew what is to come. Yet the pro Palestinian camp with all its Jewish “supporters” in control, embraced the move. Palestinians were deceived into believing that a Palestinian state will come into being within five years. They were led to believe the Palestinian problem is on the verge of being resolved once and for all, and closure was eminent, nothing could have been further from truth. And the genocidal slaughter continued, worse then ever. And it continues today.
For the twenty five years that followed, “israel” used the “peace process” to proceed with it’s undeclared aims of total colonisation of West Bank and Gaza. The number of settlers sky rocketed and settlements have multiplied many folds over, making it impossible for any Palestinian state to exist on a land infested with and totally disconnected by Jewish only settlements and Jewish only roads.
In the present, “israel” has managed to totally conquer Palestine by war and terror. It has created a new reality on the ground, by annexing most of the land of historic Palestine, reducing Palestinian areas into fragmented open prisons where Jewish “israelis” can kill-at-will. “israel” together with its international Jewish support network has reduced and degraded the Palestinian population from a formerly radiant, self-sufficient, productive, cohesive, cooperative affluent society into an aid-dependent, traumatized, unproductive, poverty stricken population. The degradation is even practiced by distributing free narcotics to the Palestinian youth!

Despite having achieved their Jewish Zionist goals of total dominance over land and population, the geo-political circumstances are rapidly changing.

Increasingly, the strategists and think tanks of the Jewish state realise that they have passed the highest moment of success, and that the world community in spite of some coerced puppet governments, is vary rapidly turning against the Jewish state. They began to feel the heat, of growing isolation, of world disdain. In this context, the next logical step from the perspective of their think tanks and strategists, is to seek the total finalization of their Zionist project, by seeking legitimacy from the rightful natives, through legalization, and through mass campaigns to gain “the hearts and minds” from world community by any artifice necessary.

Such step would guarantee their permanent presence in Palestine while securing themselves with “peace treaties’.  And while the Arab Muslims remain majority in greater region, the Jewish-“Israeli” total hegemony and dominance; financial, economical, militaristic, technological, administrative, educational, would be guaranteed.
Their next strategic move would be to offer a luring “solution” which would lure Palestinian support by nominally less oppression, by feigning “equality” while knowing that in reality their hegemony will remain de-facto, due to the huge economical, technological, industrial, and of course military gap between the two groups. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the Jewish state exhibits a willingness to relinquish any part of their control over all apparatus of power in the region. And it is an irrefutable fact, demonstrated by a century of nefarious “facts on the ground” that the Jewish Zionists who invaded Palestine and their aggravated offspring, will never voluntarily relinquish their weaponry, military, and aggressive violence.

Add to this unsettling scenario the most horrific component of ideological supremacy which would no doubt manifest in an explosion of settler violence against Palestinians who are seen as mere slaves created only to serve Jews.

That horrific deception is a strategic move already has a name. “One Democratic State”,  “with Equal Rights to All its Citizens”. Very easy to be deceived by such a lofty romantic title, except that it is a cruel misnomer, a sirens’ song to fool and victimise, one last lethal time.
“It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled” as goes the adage sometimes attributed to Mark Twain

Leading Palestinians by the nose​, dangling the carrot of “One Democratic State” and ​promising them of a “bright” ​joined ​future​ with their persecutors,​ while knowing fair well that the promised crumbs will never come to fruition, exactly as the crumbs of Oslo, due to the fact-on-the-ground dominance coupled with lethal ideological supremacy​.

“ODS-Equal Rights”,​ is not only an act of egregious deception, it is designed to perpetuate wars and genocide, by rewarding sadistic terrorists, thus it is an act of betrayal to humanity.

My Soul Bows Down

Like droplets of dew flowing on a jasmine tree

 

Like humming of canaries as dawn breaks free

Like flowers in a garden swaying at twilight

Like whispers of lovers meandering under moonlight

 

 

Like fragrance of an angel floating by

Like a baby’s eyes as he sings his lullaby

 

So prays my soul

BEWARE!

Be Aware… Beware

My beloved Palestinian brothers and sisters
My beloved world supporters

After they threw us in abyss for nearly three decades spinning in the mirage of “peace” and “peace process”, meanwhile they were able to tighten their grip, steal more land, multiply the number of settlers, anchor the second generation in our land and destroy all neighbouring states with potential threat to them.

After they have altered the situation on the ground beyond recognition, they are now attending the next stage, which will be in my opinion far more dangerous than ever before

After Zionism achieved its goals in the establishment of a national homeland for Jews of the world, and in the name of the lie ‘equality, peace and stability, prosperity and love’ they are now moving to the final stage of their supremacist destructive tribal colonial project, the phase of ‘renouncing Zionism’ by taking off the robe of discrimination and wearing the garment of purity and chastity so that they can finally enjoy what they have looted with our blessing and without any resistance.

Their new project, cooked in the kitchens of the Israeli academic left, the so-called renunciation of Zionism and the overthrow of the system of the right-wing Israeli state in order to preserve the gains of six million Israeli Jews and protect them from any future legal prosecution for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, for a period of over seven decades.

The purpose is to remain safe and secure in the land they have raped and distorted its landscape, “equals” amongst the people whom they soaked in their blood for decades, without mercy or humanity.

Their new project, in which we are presented with poisoned honey, is the renunciation of the crusts and the retention of the heart, as a snake does, shedding away its old skin only to grow bigger, stronger and more savage.

It is the so called One Democratic State, ODS

The goal of this mined step, in which mercy and justice are claimed to be the intention, is to enable six million foreign invaders and occupiers to stay on the stolen land forever and to retain what they looted and raped, but with the consent and blessing of those who they oppressed and with the preservation and protection of the law.

My beloved brothers and sisters

Be Aware… Beware

حذار حذار

اخوتي واخواتي وأبناء وطني الاحبة
بعدما ألقونا في غيابة الجب ما يقارب عقودا ثلاثة ندور في منظومة ‘السلام’ السرابية بينما تمكنوا هم خلالها من احكام قبضتهم وسلب مزيد من الاراضي ومضاعفة عدد المستوطنين وتثبيت الجيل الثاني لهم في ارضنا السليبة وتفتيت وتدمير ما تبقى حولنا من دول

بعدما تم لهم تغيير الأحوال على ارض الوقع هم الان يحضرون للمرحلة القادمة والتي ستكون في نظري اخطر مما سبق بكثير

وبعدما حققت الصهيونية العالمية أهدافها في إقامة وطن قومي ليهود العالم وباسم كذبة ‘السلام والاستقرار والازدهار والمحبة’ ينتقلون الان الى المرحلة الاخيرة من مشروعهم الاستعلائي الاستعماري التدميري الا وهي مرحلة ‘نبذ الصهيونية’ وخلع رداء التفرقة ولبس لباس الطهر والعفاف ليتمكنوا اخيراً من الاستمتاع بما سلبوه دونما تنغيص أو مقاومة تذكر

مشروعهم الجديد الذي طبخ في مطابخ اليسار الاسرائيلي الأكاديمي هو ما يسمى بنبذ الصهيونية وإسقاط النظام المتمثل في الدولة الإسرائيلية اليمينية من اجل حفظ مكاسب ستة ملايين يهودي إسرائيلي وحمايتهم من أية مقاضاة قانونية مستقبلية على ما ارتكبوه من جرائم حرب وجرائم ضد الانسانية على مدى سبعة من العقود وتمكينهم من البقاء في ارض اغتصبوها وشوهوا تضاريسها وولغوا في دم شعبها دونما انسانية او رحمة

مشروعهم الجديد الذي دس فيه السم بالعسل هو نبذ للقشور والاحتفاظ باللب، كما تنسلخ الافعى من جلدها القديم لتنمو تكبر، إنه ما أطلقوا عليه اسم دولة ديمقراطية واحدة ODS
One Democratic State

الهدف من هذه الخطوة الملغومة التي ظاهرها فيه الرحمة وباطنها فيه العذاب هو تمكين ستة ملايين غاصب استعلائي من البقاء على الارض والاحتفاظ بما اغتصبوه ولكن برضى ومباركة المظلومين وبحفظ ورعاية القانون

I Came From There


Share

I came from there
There I belong
Where babies can fly
And prayers have wings
Where poppies dance
And angels do sing

I came from there
Where rainbow souls
With stardust tails
Float in the sky
Despite the curfews
Dazzling, their joy

I came from there
Where skies rain bombs
As air stops breathing
Families hold hands
Bathing in love
Tranquil serene

I came from there
Where furious evil
Rages with hate
Humanity’s saviours
Shining in beauty
Steadfast remain

I came from there
While others watch
Stunned and bemused
My people ascend
Peeking through veils
Where time no more

I came from there
Where truths are born

Infinity meets naught
Miracles are norm
Where loss is gain
And less is more

I came from there
Where prophets still praying
Where children play
On sacred mountains
Splashing their feet
In holy springs

I came from there
Where eyes can hear you
Where tears have smiles
And grins do weep
Where stones have feelings
And martyrs live, forevermore

I came from there
There I belong
Where life is death
And death means life
Where God dwells
Thus sings my soul

Ascend

To be human is to be hugely affected by what is happening in the world

Sadness, depression and grief may linger in your heart

Colours fade into one tone of grey

You may even gasp at the edge of despair, sometimes

For one breath of hope, you’d give your life

* * *

 
* * *

Often, you may question your sanity

You may wake up screaming at night

Your pillow soaked with tears streaming

You may wonder if it is all but a bad dream,

A nightmare rather

Or is it a 3D horror movie in which you’re sucked into somehow

An observer, helplessly watching

* * *

* * *

Your mind rages in furious anger!

Did I read that correctly?

Did I truly hear the little girl saying such words?

Is that world for real?

Are those perpetrators even human?

Did I land in the wrong universe?

* * *

* * *

Volcanoes erupt in your chest

Battles blaze in your head

and you,

YOU… are crushed in between

* * *

* * *

Watching in curious apprehension

You try to regain bearings

To be a voice of reason

Amidst this madness

 * * *

* * *
You hold your fearful heart, tight

You take your mind by the hand

Hush hush its flying thoughts

Tap its shoulder gently and whisper

Dear mind, do you mind to step aside for a moment

With all due respect, your knowledge is but a speck

Infinitesimal

Oh raging mind calm down

You view the world through a keyhole

You try to squeeze infinity in a soup bowl

Then cry like a baby, the bowl is too small

* * *

* * *

Oh foolish mind step down

You are not the author, you are not the hero

Not even an actor, or a comma in the script

Stop behaving as if you’re the main character or a superstar

* * *

* * *

You want to know the story?

O the story!

Once upon a no-space and non-time

Written on a no-place on plane ∅

A glorious tale with two letters of Light

BE… and it was

An exquisitely-smart explosion

Shattered nothingness into being… Boom…Boom

Time is born

Finely-tuned matter…poof… poof… appeared

A masterpiece

* * *

* * *

Layer upon layer, the cosmos unfolds

Time and space intertwine, majestic embrace

Pages scripted, laws encrypted

Supernovas sprinkled, stars twinkled

Galaxies and atoms hold hands, in a prayerful dance

Their pounding hearts flutter

Dazzled in adoration

Breathtaking beauty

Impatiently awaits to be discovered

Thus the story began

Imagine the ending, in a world unseen !

 * * *
 
* * * * * * * * * *
Mind humbled, retreats in silence

Heart throbbing, awestruck, serene

Soul weeps of joy, of love, of gratitude

* * * * * * * * * *

* * *

Oh bewildered me beware

Be conscious of the soul you are

Listen to the songs humming inside

Heighten your inner resolve with faith and hope

Tighten your wounds with patience abound

Change what’s within to change outside

Be the one you dream others would be

Fill your heart with kindness refined

With tender care hold your inner child

* * *

* * *

Extend your hands to the One Most High

Thus sings my soul

Receive agape love, bestow far and wide

Forevermore

* * *

* * *

Spread your wings above the clouds, rise up and fly

The story unfolds, the plot is thickening, but don’t you mind

Smile to the rainbow, again… The End is worthwhile

Sings my old soul

Sings my old soul

* * *

‘∅’ read as ‘phi’. In mathematics, ∅ is the empty set, it’s the unique set having no elements; its size or cardinality is zero.

Example: Set X = {}. It is also called a void set or null set.
