The relevance to today's circumstances is unbelievable. It's as if it was written yesterday.

Thank you for sharing his powerful reflections! It is astounding to witness how little seems to have changed, perhaps due largely to the ignorance of history among Americans. Most have forgotten even our own country’s role in indigenous genocide, which continued in even the most “progressive” state in the Union until barely 100 years ago. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/indigenous-lives-matter-from-north

Thank you for posting this affective piece by Mahmood Darwish written in 1973.

I wish those who say "Gaza broke out on October 7 2023" read this writing, and look around.

Muitas favelas do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.Tem como apelido Gaza. Darwish, não conheceu a Rocinha, tampouco a Maré. Mas com ele era um palestino, e como todos que moram em Gaza, gente humilde e com caráter. Sabe o que é um povo que resiste. Gaza somos nós.
