michael heart wrote a beautiful and hopeful song in support of people living in gaza:
please sign amnesty international’s petition to pressure bush & his court of fools to call for an end to the humanitarian crisis in gaza.
join oxfam america’s call for an immediate cease-fire.
these aid agencies are making a difference (insofar as they can, insofar as they are allowed to). take a look at their summary reports and make a donation if you are so inspired. every couple bucks helps:
american red cross evacuation efforts
doctors without borders reports on the way humanitarian aid is being blockaded
an oxfam worker and his family were bombed out of their home in gaza yesterday. oxfam continues its work on behalf of all the victims in the area and is seeking donations.
so, don’t read the news. it’s too depressing. present gaza death toll stands at 984. lebanon and israel are now swapping bombs and artillery, and this sideshow may well escalate into a second front. bin ladin has called, from his hidey-hole, for total jihad against israel. the cowardly democratic senate broadcasts its approval of the slaughter. an iranian aid ship has been turned back at sea; in the meantime, gaza is almost out of water — and has almost no room left to bury all the dead.
how michael heart found it in himself to write such a hopeful song for the palestinians in the midst of all this i cannot imagine. but i applaud his creative and uplifting heart.

Lyrics:
The world can see our suffering
All the bad that’s happening
Each day’s spent just hoping
You’ll be gone by morning
Our girls and boys they look so sad
Their mums and dads it makes them mad
Everyone will make a stand
Until our people get their land
Someday I hope you realize
Our people you can paralyze
But we will never compromise, our home
Your tanks and planes just terrorize
Your men with guns just brutalize
But we will never sacrifice, our home
Help me, somebody help me
To do what’s right but make a stand
Show me, somebody show me
How to stop their might with bare hands
Aint it right to fight a mighty bully
Damn the man whose gang gets heavy
Fall the wall that is tall and messy
Seal the deal when it stops being silly
You want to steal our land and base
We’ll never agree coz wed have no place
Your offer you deal is a big disgrace
What an insult to our entire race
Our sons you eliminate
Leaders you assassinate
But we wont let you liquidate, our home
Our children you just suffocate
Houses you just decimate
But we wont let you evaporate, our home
Teach him, somebody teach him
To find a way to show some care
Show him, somebody show him
How to walk away and do what’s fair

I really love the song of Gaza. it really touched my heart since the first time I heard that song on TV. IKEEP WRITING THE SONG YAH…but I never see Michael Heart.. that is why I look for his picture on internet.

It is easy to write songs condemning something or someone.
How about exploring a solution for what is going on in
Palestine /Israel? It is a lot more brave to talk to people from
the various sides and explore the underpinnings. Look at the Palestinian poet
Fareed Bitar and what he is doing with the Fatoosh Ensemble.
i agree that it is extremely easy to condemn the airborne slaughter of thousands of people penned like animals in a trap.
yes, there are complex issues surrounding israel’s relationship with its neighbors. but none of them — in fact, nothing on earth — justifies the actions that were taken against gaza. there is no excuse or historical justification for it. none.
This is a new video clip for Michael heart’s song , it is amazing and unbelievable , please spread it to the world

It’s truly a beautiful song for a horrible tragedy.
