Think of the children orphaned in Gaza
Forced to grow up without a mother and a father
Been forgotten by
The propaganda
Telling you an Israeli life is important, but a Palestinian’s doesn’t matter
That Israelis are killed but Palestinians died from a natural disaster
But this isn’t true, it’s fake news
They do matter
That’s someone’s father, mother
Someone’s son and someone’s daughter
There not just merely a number
But they have been dehumanised
The TV telling you a Palestinian’s life doesn’t equal an Israeli life
But don’t be fooled by all these media lies
It’s all to deflect from our government’s war crimes
Air strike after air strike
But they can’t hide
They’re committing slaughter right in front of our eyes documented online worldwide
And genocidal Joe, how many more have to die
Before you stop funding this genocide
They are human
Why can’t you see
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human
They are human
With so much to give
So let every Palestinian live
They are the professors, the doctors
The construction workers
They are the courageous nurses
The medics
The surgeons operating without anaesthetic
The academics
The poets, the singers, the dabke dancers
The weavers
Making your keffiyehs, the chefs
The heroic journalists risking their lives to bring you the evidence
They are
The talented artists
All dealing with the most unimaginable of hardships
They are the activists standing up against 75 years of injustice
So we must keep sharing
Never stop caring
Keep campaigning until there is fairness
And until they have some happiness
They are human
Why can’t you see?
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human
They are human
With so much to give
So let every Palestinian live
They are some of the most resilient people that I have ever met
With such unbelievable
Strength
So
If you are still sitting on the fence
Try seeing things through a Palestinians lens
What if it was your family, what if it was your friends
Would you not do all you could
To bring this an end
Would you not do all you could
To bring this an end
They are human
Why can’t you see?
They are human
Just like you and me
They are human
With hopes and dreams
Ripped away by colonial greed
They are human
They are human
