No one can take away from me
My identity,
For it is mine.
Palestinian am I.
I am the river that flows
Through my land.
I am the mountain
Noble and magnificent
Rising up out of chaos and destruction.
I greet the morning sun
That shines down on my fertile valleys
And parches my barren desert.
I am the red poppy and yellow daffodil
That grow upon my bloodstained hills.
I am the battle cry of freedom
That echoes through my corridors
And every fiber of my being.
Palestinian am I.
I am the proud owner of
Orange orchards and lemon blossoms
And honey bees, wild and free.
I am the David child wielding a single stone
Against the Israeli Goliath.
I am not afraid,
For truth is with me and God is on my side.
If I die,
A choir of angels will honor me
And later, my parents will grasp my outstretched hand
And join me in Heaven.
I am the tears of
Mothers weeping for their dead sons.
I am the footsteps of ancient prophets
Who foretold of doom and destruction
To those who torture and oppress me.
My brethren are the doves, hummingbirds and seagulls
That fly unhindered above my sea.
I am Palestinian,
Therefore, I am.
No one can take my identity
Away from me,
Not tanks or guns or bombs
Meant to desecrate me and kill me.
My country lives in me.
I am the cry of liberty
No matter what they take from me,
They can’t take away my identity
Or my dignity.
Palestinian am I.

Today is International Women's Day, and the centenary of its introduction, so congratulations and have a brilliant day anyone celebrating and participating .............. it seems to have a lot of different themes across different continents and countries.................. some places have emphasis on achievements or victories and celebrating the roll and achievements of exceptional women..................... some places put emphasis on female education......... empowering women through education and knowledge.............. in some other parts they are emphasizing ending violence against women and girls.......... all mighty and of course very worthy.
I always think of women taking leading rolls in political struggle on International Women's Day............... Here, above, is a Palestinian woman demanding the release of her arrested brother dragged away as he protested against and threw rocks at Israeli soldiers..............
As violence and protest spread across the Middle East and North Africa I wonder how many brave women are involved in protest and civil unrest in an attempt to win social and political justice.
I really hope that the women (and men) on the streets of Egypt and Libya get their yearned for justice and democracy. I'm not certain all their revolutions are even set to succeed yet. Hopefully they will overthrow Gaddafi soon without too much loss of life. Hopefully Egypt will get some kind of democracy with a modern space for women to participate.
I am slightly afraid that Tunisia is already falling backwards towards islamic intolerance of modern equality. With the once banned veil becoming necessary as a safety mechanism for women who fear attack for not wearing it.
Sadly I fear all this hope for decency and change will be stifled by Islamism.......... This would be particularly unfair to the women who have joined men on the streets at great risk to themselves possibly only to find they have won less social justice and freedom than previously ........... I hope it does not happen like that........ but there are already horrid attacks on some women in Tunisia.......... Depressing.
Hey I'm being a bit of a downer......... lets try to be a bit more optimistic.......... It is one hundred years of the International Women's Day after all.............. Viva the women of the Middle East !!!!!!!! Viva the Women of the World !!!!!!!!!!! :-))))))))) XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Israel planned to complete a troop pullout from Gaza before Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday, Israeli political sources said, in what analysts saw as an effort to avoid any tension with the new U.S. president. With a ceasefire entering its third day, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon planned to visit the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and view first-hand the devastation of a 22-day Israeli offensive.
