An Open Letter To The People of Greece…

*

*

It wasn’t that long ago, April,1967 to be exact, when your democratically elected government was overthrown by a gang of fascist generals. Do you remember the outcry and support your people received from almost the entire world demanding the Restoration of Democracy in your country? Many of us worked endlessly for that to happen and rejoiced with you when it did.

*

In recent weeks your government has engaged itself in criminal activities contrary to every International Law in the Books and to Democracy itself. It has sold its very soul to the zionist government of Israel and has aided and abetted them in refusing the good people of this world ways and means to end the siege of Gaza, the same way we ended fascism in your country.

Greece is in economic turmoil at the moment, one would think that your government would concern itself with helping the situation of its own citizens, but no, for whatever reason$ they chose to sellout every principle of Greek Democracy and support the most undemocratic state in the Middle East.

*

I urge you to watch the following videos, you might not understand the dialogue, but you will understand the images. After you watch them, can you honestly say THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE OF GREECE SUPPORT? I didn’t think so…..

*

The first short video called “the Truth” is narrated in English by a Palestinian child, VERY GRAPHIC…

*

The second one, ALSO GRAPHIC shows what Israel does to Palestinian families and children enjoying family picnics at the Gaza beach on a summer day.

Now, LOOK INTO MY EYES AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE …. * * DEMAND THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT STOP SUPPORTING THESE INHUMANE POLICIES. * THE SIEGE OF GAZA MUST BE ENDED NOW! * Lyrics to Look Into My Eyes

* Look into my eyes

Tell me what ya see

U don’t see a damn thing

Cuz u can’t relate to me U blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to u

I’m the persecuted one

U the red, white and blue Each day u wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thankin’ God He let me rise Ya worry ’bout your education

And the bills u have to pay

I worry ’bout my vulnerable life

And if I’ll survive another day Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket

As ya cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that’s just left

Will turn around and come back Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody nobody nobody knows

Some one tell me Oh let’s not cry tonight

I promise you one day it’s through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain’t with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters See I’ve known terror for quite some times

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It’s the check point on my way to school Terror is the robbery of my land

And the torture of my mother

The imprisonment of my innocent father

The bullet in my baby brother The bulldozers and the tanks

The gasses and the guns

The bombs that fall outside my door

All due to your funds You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of my enemies

I’m terrorized in my own land

And I’m the terrorist Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody nobody nobody knows

Some one tell me Oh let’s not cry tonight

I promise you one day it’s through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain’t with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters American do ya realize

That the taxes that u pay

Feed the forces that traumatize

My every living day So if I won’t be here tomorrow

It’s written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day

The end of our wait Oh let’s not cry tonight

I promise you one day it’s through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain’t with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters * Meanwhile…. Palestinians in Gaza await the Flotilla’s arrival ….
