The Palestinians are returning to the north of Gaza. They are returning to an area that has been destroyed, but they are returning. I don’t think I have ever seen anything so defiant and heartbreakingly majestic as the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning by foot to Northern Gaza. The long walk home is the stuff of legends.

 

When they make movies about this time in history, the heroes will be the Palestinians. What will be studied is the Western Governments, the Propaganda Machine of Western Media and the silence of the civilised world that allowed the Genocide of the people of Palestine to happen.

 

they tried

to bury them

in the rubble

but they

forgot they

are like seeds

and from the rubble,

they will grow

I ​would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of Tenterfield, the place where I call home, the Kamilaroi, Jukembal, and Ngarabal people.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters, and communities.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
