A campaign to raise awareness of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice. We support the call for Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions of Israel and Israeli goods.
If you once thought that when you crushed her bones and stopped her mouth with sand and stone murder would bring silence, then think again.
If you once counted on distance in time and space to wear away the memory and in its place leave blank acceptance, then think again.
If you once believed that your great lie could hold back the tide until by virtue of its growing old it could be taken for the truth, then think again.
See how proudly she breasts a merciful sea, defiant of your tanks and jets and mines, laden with the best in all of us, full of love for Palestine.
