Rantissi Remembered

Lost in Battle for Palestinian Victory*

By Genevieve Cora Fraser

Zionists destroy our lives

Because we fight

To put an end to tragedy

The multi-faceted suffering

Of the Palestinian people

 Zionists continue

To destroy our lives for no reason

But that we demand our legitimate rights

If the suffering stops

We have achieved victory

We, the Palestinians

Have been engaged in a war

The Zionists have imposed on us

1948

They left their countries

To occupy ours

And imposed the war on themselves

By their crimes

They create suffering

Slaughtered thousands upon thousands

Aggressively

Unjustly

Exiled millions from their land

The exiled will return

To their land

To their cities

To their villages

Though they are imprisoned

They will be set free

I do not know

When I will die

But please remember

The enemy’s might

Does not achieve victory

The unjust collapse

While appearing strong

The strong will

Of Palestinian youth

Is mightier

Than the Zionist soldier

Thousands of times stronger

The battle

Has never been about weapons

If it were so

The Zionist would have conquered

By destruction and terror

Win victory

By protecting the children from slaughter

Win victory

By executing plans

Force the enemy

To leave a piece of land

Without giving up our rights

Victory

Is exposing the evil

Face of Zionism to the world

Victory

Is regaining our stolen rights

Victory

Is putting an end

To the suffering

Of Palestine

VOTER FRAUD IN FLORIDA

I'm  just angry that so many in this country are still buying into the fraud that, if you want to, you can decide who will be President, etc. I think it's very important that people in this country are aware of the fraud(s) of the past election(s). I also am reminded a quote from Arianna Huffington when she asked Jesse Jackson why Al Gore did not pursue the disenfranchisement of Black voters in Florida. His reply, according to her was "He said he didn't want to play the race card." I could have laughed, if this didn't make me feel like crying. Her interview with Jackson did not get a lot of media attention, but was picked up on one of the Black websites.

The one great thing about our system of government is that in November, ALL Americans who want to can vote to elect the American president for the next four years, their Congressmen for the next two years and their senators for the next six years.

THE ABOVE STATEMENT BY ONE OF YOUR WRITERS DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FRAUD THAT TOOK PLACE IN FLORIDA. NEARLY 90,000 + VOTERS WERE "SCRUBBED" FROM THE VOTING ROLES ILLEGALLY. AT LEAST ONE-HALF WERE BLACK. Below is an excerpt from Buzzflash.com. This info is also available on Salon.com and many other Internet sites.
