Palestinian As One

Israel’s latest massacre upon Gaza cemented a worldwide outcry of protests in solidarity with the people of GAZA and Palestine. Much of the state controlled media failed to provide reasonable coverage of events and went further by way of propagating Israeli apologist propaganda. Established global networks between Palestinians and solidarity campaigners ensured that active news was shared.

PALESTINIAN AS ONE is a short film inspired by the resilience and courage of Palestinians and images of global solidarity protests taking place in November 2012. The film evidences the unity of humanity on the issue of Palestine and features a song, ‘Palestinian As One’ by Jeremy Karodia and Ravi Naidoo. The words are set out below and the song is available for free download by THE MAVRIX from the album, 'PURA VIDA’ which is in support of Palestine and its people's struggle for freedom.  http://soundcloud.com/the-mavrix/palestinian-as-one-the-mavrix

‘Palestinian As One

stand down soldier your time is up
the will for our freedom is mightier than your gun
we will rise from the ashes with the wretched of the earth
we will stake our claim and stand our ground Palestinian as one
there’s a howling in the wind there’s a whisper in the trees
when a baby dies and a mother cries we’ll stand as one
we will die on our feet than live on our knees
standing proud shout out loud Palestinian for life

CHORUS

ooooh so much history in the land of the olive tree
ooooh such an irony war in the name of peace
oooh i'm a refugee the right to return is a guarantee
ooooh it’s our destiny we will set me free
step aside convict the day has come
as sure as the sun comes out victory is ours
there’s a rumble in the ground the wall must come down
you can take our land you can take our food Palestinian as one

there’s a howling in the wind there’s a whisper in the trees
when a baby dies and a mother cries we’ll stand as one
we will die on our feet than live on our knees
standing proud shout out loud Palestinian for life

CHORUS
BRIDGE

been a long time coming on a long and winding road
there’s a flicker just ahead that feeds this hungry soul
freedom is close freedom in near
we rise to the challenge without any fear
bow down soldier your time is gone
the night is darkest just before the dawn
resistance in our veins freedom in our hearts
cast in stone etched in our bones freedom for life’

Assalamu’alaikum, Peace be upon you
