Esistere e' Resitere : Canzone a Vittorio

Resisto perche' esisto

Mi disse Vittorio

Nel pianeta che ci vorrebbe morti

All'ombra del muro che cementa

L'odio e divide l'anima di ogni

Giorno trivellata dall'ingordigia del

Capitalista pancione mangione

Resistere e' esistere

Anche nel ruscello inquinato

Che non abbevera piu'

Gli escrementi del genocidio

Visibili a tutti.

Il mondo si volta e ci lascia alla putrefazione

Del giorno che vorrebe penetrare anche i nostri

Antichi scudi di cuoio umano che

Resiste, sanguina, si rimargina, sanguina, resiste

Resistere e' esistere

Nel vecchio uliveto violentato

Dalla ruspa dell'odio

Discriminatorie pale d'acciaio fuse nel Texas e DC

Vorrebbero sradicare anche I nostri cuori

Frammentati ma non spezzati nell'arido deserto delle nostre speranze

E rivedo il vecchio Comanche che mi saluta e scompare, ormai solo, in un recinto Bianco

Di nuova vernice che sgocciola e tinge anche la terra

Il pozzo dei sogni e' ormai dall'altra parte dell'uliveto fantasma

E dormire e' solo un movimento di spartiti di vita incompiuti

Esisto un altro giorno mi disse Vittorio

Perche' insieme dobbiamo scrivere una canzone umana per Gaza

Resisto un altro giorno mi disse Vittorio

Perche' anche se non vogliamo sentire piu’ rime e menzogne

Vorremmo vedere il sorriso di un bimbo che esiste

Palestine: "Just like a mini Tuscany"- Mayor of Jerusalem today

Just today the mayor of Jerusalem says he intends to demolish 120 homes of Palestinians, and give them apartments, generous man that he is (he's a multi- millionaire by the way). He says, get this!...once the houses are razed, "the area will become a mini Tuscany"...

What a hypocrite, greedy, uneducated stupid man he is!
A mini Tuscany!!!...does he know anything? Who does he think will buy that unfounded, uneducated, insensitive and idiotic statement? Let's see:
- in Tuscany, the Olive trees smile and thrive at the hands of the locals who tend their ancestral land
- In Tuscany Olive trees and vineyards are sacred!
- in Tuscany generations and generations live happily on their ancient lands and hand made stone homes
- in Tuscany people don't ever have to worry about bulldozers coming in and destroying their homes
- in Tuscany, the fig trees are respected, revered and provide joy and income and are shared by all inhabitants
- In Tuscany anyone can visit and there are no checkpoints!
- In Tuscany there does not fly a flag that represents theocratic hegemony
- in Tuscany people come and go as they please
- in Tuscany children smile and can play everywhere
- in Tuscany the partisans rebelled and ousted the Nazi genocidal occupiers!
How dare he say that once he knocks their houses down, the Palestinians in Jerusalem will enjoy life as in a mini Tuscany!

Mr Mayor, what the Palestinians need is NOT a "Mini Tuscany"! They need a full fledged, wholesome, unoccupied, FULL PALESTINE!

IF PALESTINIANS WERE BLUE, WOULD THE WORLD CARE?

From Haaretz
Protesters against Israel's policies in the West Bank have added a colorful twist to demonstrations, painting themselves blue and posing as characters from the movie Avatar.

Pro-Palestinian participants in weekly demonstrators against the route of the separation fence in the village of Bil'in, and the takeover of Arab homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, have also donned long hair and loincloths to resemble the 10-foot blue-skinned Na'vi of Avatar.

The demonstrators compare the Palestinians to the Na'vi - an indigenous people on the moon Pandora who find themselves up against militarily superior foreign invaders who seek to oust them from their homes.
