A Land Without a People?

 

A People Without a Land

…this abomination – [is now] - a test of our collective legal and moral responsibility… (Francesca Albanese)

Global Rights - Human Rights

Shit, Éretz Yisra’él, now

“your” Land is surely empty, emptied

of its humanity, empty, like despair itself,

dark and desolate, but

not for disease, nor death, nor dying

 

cleared and cleansed

this sad ceaseless song of these stubborn stones!

Here is the Promised Land you purged,

its peoples and its prison-walls papered

with damnation and destruction

and

“What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all.”

(Francesca Albanese)...Contd.

Francesca Albanese:

 “Hence, I concluded, that genocide

has become the ultimate form of torture,

continuous, generational, collective

…this abomination – a test of our collective

legal and moral responsibility.”

Francesca Albanese:

“Thousands detained without charge, held

in inhuman conditions, beaten, shackled, sexually abused,

denied medical care, starved, raped…”
