Remember Palestine

The famous song, Va pensiero by Giuseppe Verdi was first performed in 1842 when the Northern part of Italy was under the thumb of the Austrian empire. It is a song about the plight of the Jews as they are assaulted, conquered, and subsequently exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar).

The song has become a plaintive cry for freedom for all occupied people and is dedicated to the Palestinian fight for justice, from the Occupied West Bank to besieged Gaza. Supporters from around the world marched on December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2010 to demand of their governments, "Break the siege on Gaza, let them live in peace and with dignity"

Israel won't stop until international governements will stop him, or until Palestinians are all died. This is clear enough to everyone. And clear enough is also the total lack of respect you show.

Blockade of Gaza can not last forever!

Interesting that the Zionists, whose grandparents went behind during the Second World War,

Now behave the same to the Palestinians?

Long live Free Palestine!!!
