A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

The song "Ween el Malayeen," in English "Where are the Millions" was written by the Libyan poet Ali alKilani during the First Intifada (~1987 - 1993). He wanted it to be in classical Arabic with well-known words that could be understood all across West Asia and North Africa. It was aimed at the leaders of these nations to condemn and question their silence on the Palesinian cause. Their silence, as we all know, has only gotten worse since then due to continued Western imperialism, Zionist divide-and-rule tactics, and US regime change operations.

Omar alJaffori, the composer and melodist, intended for the song to be performed by three singers from different West Asian and North African countries, symbolizing borderless unity and solidarity.

These are the three female singers we see here:

Sawsan Hamami from Tunisia, Julia Boutros from Lebanon, of a Christian background, and Amal Arafa from Syria

The song itself references verses from the Qur'an, specifically Surah Al-Fil (The Elephant). The verses recount the story of Abrahah's Abyssinian army attacking Makkah to destroy the Ka'bah using war elephants, but flocks of birds carrying stones of baked clay came and defeated the invaders.
