Poetry for the Peeps! Witnessing Genocide

Today’s blog continues to look at the atrocities being committed in Gaza and to join the world plea for a ceasefire now. There is no end to this inhumanity of pulverizing a people in real time and with the massive citizen and press presence on social media platforms, allowing us if we choose, to follow the absolute tragedy and genocidal intent of the current Israeli administration.

By sharing and amplifying the art and poetry of Palestine and allied cultural workers, I continue to manifest solidarity towards the people of Gaza and the West Bank. Many prominent thinkers and activists of previous generations have spoken about the plight of the Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba, and even earlier, with the Balfour Declaration. More and more writing is available from and about the nation and its 75 year long struggle. As the butchers, bankers and arms mongers continue their reign of terror, poets and artists fight back.
