Berlin is not a memory(3,45 minutes presentation)
Now, Berlin
is Qalqily
a
And Qalqilya
is an immense fence
Berlin is now a festive sign of victory
A sign that in
Ramallah...
...is tragic, even
pathetic
Or, indeed, we are the pathetic ones...
...because of our passivity
Apartheid is not a memory
Apartheid is now Abu Dis
…or the favela of Rocinha
As much cowards we are, as much we protect us with
trenches
…against the
barbarians
...and the espaldas mojadas
The Berliner wall is now a painting wall for tourists
But that one of
Palestine is made
with concrete..
.
...and with flesh and bones
We can root out their millennial olive trees
...break down their land
...tear down their homes
He doesn’t want to look at it...
…and we don’t want to see it
...but they smile,
...they trust,
...they hope for a future
...because they are not alone
When I saw this
picture I
wept
And my impotence.
..
...became a sculpture
