they cry,
'We are not dead!'
Do not bury us alive;
our souls
in the soil,
in the sky.
We remain,
we return,
we fly...
we survive.
Stop mourning the living,
and let us simply live.
{Nabi Saleh, Palestine.
Demonstrations against the Settlements, seen on the right in the photo above, a city on stolen land, and also in the photo of the village with all the red roofs. Nabi Saleh's main water source was taken by the settlement across the road from their village's hilltop, and they were forced in return to pay 5x more to buy water pumped in from Israel. This village has become well acquainted with death, constant harassment, common arrests of people young and old, and economic devastation. Remember, they are reacting against an illegal occupation forced upon them, this village did not ask to start a war. People we have come to know there say they just want to live their lives...}
