Brian Cox is from Dundee in Scotland, as is George Galloway. They are both Socialists and have humanity and social justice at the core of their beliefs. Thanks, Brian, for your heart felt rendition of Refaat’s beautiful poem.

Palestinians have the right of resistance against the oppressor, apartheid and colonial state of Israel, even the armed resistance. Israel being the oppressor and illegitimate force doesn't have any right of defence, their rhetoric of defence is absolutely absurd and ridiculous.

Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time❤

💕Was surprised to learn that the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem have been under occupation for 55+ years 😵, according to the international law and UN resolutions (1967-2023). I've come to believe that justice needs power to enforce it. ⚖❤

Hope is a bud
A grasp so fine
But be assured
The bud becomes
Within a drop of rain
And winds will not destroy
Nor torrents fall the flower
Be strong this very hour.

I miss Refaat! Great man, great intellectual, teacher and poet! The Z’s purposefully target the people that are making a difference in the world, so that the population stays docile.
