‘KILL THE CHILDREN’ – written in solidarity with Palestine.
* Video is shared on Vimeo after being censored by youtube.
Recorded on Tuesday October 24 2023 as the genocide on the people of Palestine unfolds further and further. The governments of the whole colonial western world support the settler colonial terror apartheid state of Israel in it’s effort to wipe out the people of Palestine completely in a final ethnic cleansing. Meanwhile all around the world protests grow.
As I publish this video, it has come out that last night, Friday October 27th, Israel has made sure no information of the situation in Gaza comes out anymore by destroying phone and internet connections. So whatever comes next, like more phosphor bombs, carpet bombing, the use of nerve gas, goes unnoticed. THIS IS NOT A WAR. THIS IS GENOCIDE. HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PALESTINIANS DO NOT EXIST. STOP APARTHEID. END COLONIALISM.
NO MORE! With this song I hope to contribute to the struggle for a free Palestine. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.

KILL THE CHILDREN
There are two sides to this fight they say
In this genocide on occupied land
A war between armies is what they say
To make sure we do not understand
It’s colonialism from the very first day
Building walls and growing grief
Righteous mass murder’s here to stay
on stolen ground – what do you believe? They say
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy
Another Nakba – Another lie
Settlers decide what is wrong or right
Lynch mobs attack – no-one’s asking why
Blame the victims for picking the fight
Cut off the water, juice and the food supply
Sowing more hate – cutting the olive tree
If you still wonder: Why do people cry
Palestine be free! – from the river to the sea! They will
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy
Now there’s demonstrations across the nations
Forbidden, arrested – charged with a crime
Hospitals burning in the Gaza strip
Now what do you think will be a good time
To take down the flag of the Zionist state
If they want war – now it’s time to start one
On the streets of Europe and the US of A
Palestine, be free! – from the river to the sea! ‘cause they
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy
Palestine, be free! – from the river to the sea!
