of our people,

the (amazing) Palestinians,

is coming to END!

international law,

judges your crimes,

prolonged occupation,

settlement, annexation,

ongoing violation,

right of self-determination,

seeks you leave,

evacuate! off our land!

make reparation,

you NEVER had the right,

inflict body or land,

and your best friend,

corrosive, corrupt,

yankee doodle,

too will see fit,

stand in that line,

your turn to bow,

our right to live,

and let live,

forever is a long time,

and it still comes

• the State of Israel is under an obligation to cease immediately all new settlement activities, and to evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory;

• the State of Israel has the obligation to make reparation for the damage caused to all the natural or legal persons concerned in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;

• all States are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;

• international organizations, including the United Nations, are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and

• the United Nations, and especially the General Assembly, which requested the opinion, and the Security Council, should consider the precise modalities and further action required to bring to an end as rapidly as possible the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

“In a historic ruling the International Court of Justice has found multiple and serious international law violations by Israel towards Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including, for the first time, finding Israel responsible for apartheid. The court has placed responsibility with all states and the United Nations to end these violations of international law. The ruling should be yet another wake up call for the United States to end its egregious policy of defending Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and prompt a thorough reassessment in other countries as well.”

My heart sings,

elation of free,

how sweet that whisper,

in my ear,

my eyes are tired,

I cried many tears,

late last night,

every drop,

landed lip,

tasted blood,

so much blood,

cocoon of hate,

circle of life,

we choose life,

we always just,

ever chose life
