Transformation. Fabulous video of the strong young artist Emily Henochowicz singing an anthem to Palestine she wrote for her friend. A lot of great rage here, toward the state that destroyed her eye during a demonstration on May 31. Some of the lyrics, about 2-1/2 minutes in:
In Palestine, oh I miss you Palestine.
And you know I think back to the memory of my grandparents in Poland
And I think of what they suffered through in Europe. It makes me sad
I think they would be sad how all those Jews who died in the Holocaust would be so very sad
If they knew that this is how their memory was being used
Oh-oh, in Palestine
It’s fascist what they’re doing
It is ethnic cleansing what they’re doing
It is just as bad as what had happened to them
Don’t they see?
Don’t they see?
If they don’t want people to be anti-Semitic, then they better act like good Jews!
They can’t say that they are moral when this is what they do!
In Palestine
Whoa, in Palestine
