The writing on the hands are the names of the original villages in Palestine that were ethnically cleansed.

The video was made with the assistance of Australians for Palestine, Justice for Palestine Brisbane, Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine, and a number of individuals including Margaret Cassar, David Smith, Jeanie Lucas, Ian Curr, Fay Waddington, Richard Burchorn, Anne Monsour and Gordon Thompson. Ghosts of Deir Yassin They pretend that it’s forgotten But somewhere small flowers grow On the weathered stones of destroyed homes Somewhere the light’s still in the window You see that we are rising our day is surely coming No longer in the shadows Of the ghosts of Deir Yassin They change the names on the signs But it’s in our hearts these words are written Of the children who don’t know their homes They will walk the streets from which they are forbidden You see that we are rising our day is surely coming No longer in the shadows Of the ghosts of Deir Yassin Below is the English translation of the Fadwa Tuqan poem performed in this song by Rafeef Ziadah. The Title of the poem is Fee Thikra Al Milad elEshreen – 20th Birthday Anniversary. I challenge .. No, my future I will return with resolve and confidence I hope one day to return to my beloved homeland to the flowers and roses I no longer fear their power I will return Of the old ones now passed on But it’s their blood our hearts are pumping They will walk with us when we return to their towns Whose names will live again You see that we are rising our day is surely coming No longer in the shadows Of the ghosts of Deir Yassin You see that we are rising You know the fear is gone We will return You see that we are rising our day is surely coming We are no longer in the shadows Of the ghosts of Deir Yassin You see that we are rising our day is surely coming No longer in the shadows Of the ghosts of Deir Yassin
