They say, you say Palestine

They say Greater Israel.
You say, nothing great about apartheid.
They say children throw rocks, deserve to perish.
You say, stop bombing their schools and their tents, give them toys to play with instead of bullets.
They say we have the right to occupy as a chosen people.
You say we are all equal in the eyes of God.
They say Palestinian state is a mirage.
You say, it's the dream of a nation that shall come true.
They say there is no genocide,
You say, let the numbers of the dead and the amputee speak the truth.
They say release the 50 hostages or starve away.
You say release the 10000 Palestinian prisoners and stop torturing them.
They say relocate, Gaza will be 100 percent Jewish.
You say you're hallucinating, Gaza is my home, my identity, forever Palestinian,
no matter how many villages you burn, how many hospitals you bomb, how many doctors and aid workers and patients you murder in cold blood, how many mothers and children you condemn below the rubble, how many lies you errand hands spew on television screens, how many western politicians you pocket at your beckoning, truth is you've lost the debate, your designed holocaust has no legitimacy, the battle for the hearts and minds of the world has one clear winner, and it's not you and your murderous army and US contractors high fiving after gunning down children in food lines, as if bird hunting in a wild sanctuary.  
You say what you want, Palestine will be free.
