Lyrics

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

Michael Heart Music

    I'm totally stunned!

    Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
    Defense Minister Ehud Barak
    Chief of Staff Lieut. Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi
    OC Southern Command Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant
    Atty. Gen. Menachem Mazuz

    I have seen these names, i have seen the outcome of their policies to the peoples of Palestine… the political and military machine that has been the lead in the loss of life in and throughout the Palestinian landscapes. I have seen the pictures of their faces in the address of this present and ongoing holocaust of Palestinians and what has transpired of the horror in Gaza. The deliberate action to kill helpless, defenseless human beings, civilians; the intent actions to cut off their water, to starve, imprison, demean, deny lives from and in Gaza any freedom of movement tells me and millions of free civilians through out the globe, that Israel leaders are without conscience, period and are without boundries.This is not leadership!

    The days of when Israel was fully respected, "believed" – 'trusted' – 'understood' is long past.

    If Israel leaders or their military has no intention to listening to the United Nations, then we as free civilians of the globe, must pressure our leaders to 'BOYCOTT' Israel. To cut off funding, etc to do with Israel.

    Nations and Leaders around the world need to know: that it is by the sweat and brow of the peoples of your nation that you have your position and are employed.

    It IS your duty to speak and address our rights, our safety, and our accords that keep the security, the full address of our lives, our loved ones, and our children. You are being watched and we are in no mood to keep those of you whose only accord is to keep your positions and jobs. It is your official duty to respond and act effectively for our safety, period.

    I am a person with many disabilities, on life support, but make very sure, I have no reason to keep silent, or have my individual vote denied of what my nation does in my name and or who to give or not give support to. If you refuse to address our needs then you must understand what you do to and for the constituencies you are sworn to protect.

    There are millions of us hidden, not seen, heard, incommunicado, whose very lives depend on truth, safety, respect, care, medical and humanitarian follow through.

    Millions of us as civilians ARE more than truly alarmed by the savagery that has transpired in the violations of human rights to the Palestinian civilians and their children, the elderly, the disabled.

    We are surely alarmed at the political machine and the lies that continue to come from the Israeli military and the present leadership of Israel. For a peoples and nations whose own history has been so trauma filled, only to read that the victim has turned to violator, leaves you in reality from our perspective, 'without a trusted leg to stand on'.

    You leaders of Israel and the military are the perpetrators, the violators of your own words, the violators to the respective lives of helpless, disabled civilians and children. You have not only become or will become the focus and the place where we will address our anger and messages of accountability.

    As a woman – mother – activist -advocate for disabled rights and for the elderly – a policy maker in and from a citified disabled council you leaders are the ones who blatantly have killed not only the hope of peace, but real human beings.

    I object to the ongoing human rights violations by the Military and the Present afore named leaders in and for Israel.

    In the name of Freedom and for Peace:

    I ask for ALL disabled lives across the globe to join with me in their outrage to the long term and present human rights, disabled rights, violations to civilians, youth, babies in Gaza.

    MHONA International is collecting signatures of peoples and youth from around the globe, who will not fear to send their names as disabled youth and elderly to fight back against the onslaughts and oppression, the disabling and murder of innocent lives of Gaza.

    Send just your signature to: mhona@sbcglobal.net

    I object to the ongoing human rights violations in Gaza presently by the military and leadership of Israel.
