Pride for Palestinians who die to liberate their nation

"The Martyr Adham Khalil"
Your sky is full of birds, but ours is full of army planes and rockets…
Your sea is full of ships and fish, but ours is full of warships…
Your land is full of trees and rivers,but ours is full of tanks, checkpoints,
separation walls, and the rubble of destroyedhouses and agricultural land…
You breathe fresh air, but we breathe air mixed with rocket smoke…
You travel everywhere free, but we cannot travel from villageto village...
You and you and you and you and you,
but we not and not and not…
What I and my people have faced forces me to imagine that I will be killed by Israeli army occupation, but I don't know where and when it will happen. After this picture formed in my mind, I started imagining myself as a Palestinian martyr in which I see my family and my friends carrying my corpse in my funeral shouting “God is great, God is the greatest,” mixed with Palestinian national songs and also carrying my photos written on them:
the Martyr Adham Khalil.
I have told my family that if I am killed by the Israeli army of occupation to not put my corpse in a death freezer and to make only one day for consolation.
This is not only my feeling; this is the feeling of everyone who lives under the illegal Israeli occupation.
I'm very proud that I'm Palestinian and I thank God every moment. This struggle and potential martyrdom is simply our destiny. We do not love death but in fact we are often killed when defending our nation and resisting the Israeli occupation.
Go on Palestinians—as you fight to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation you might be killed. Hell and shame for the Israeli soldiers and officers as they kill civilians and occupy the lands of others.

Advertising? He is saying simply that people who were unjustly killed are martyrs, there is nothing "suspicious" about that.
This website is meant at the beginning and the end to promote "listening" abilities bewteen cultures, not to promote prejudices and pre-arranged judgments about intentions of people belonging to different cultures.
Do not expect that "other cultures" of this planet should operate, live, and think by being nothing more than "clones" of your own culture. Each culture has its own cultural particularity. No one here has obliged you to promote death. Nagyelali is talking about someone who was killed by the Israeli forces, and it is very natural here in the Middle East to be proud that one of your family or your nation has been killed because he/she had stood in the face of injustice. This is an ultimate honor, and not at all a call for everyone to die.
If some people today find out that unintentional death is "more" just than living in collateral injustice, they will promote death.

Dear TIG members,
Please try to show cultural sensitivity and understand how other members feels about such sensitive issues such as peace and security.
Also remember not to overgeneralize or that "generalizations" that are ethnocentric or racist will not be tolerated.
Moreover, the objective of moderation is to have it as transparent and as "non-interventionist" as possible and to encourage further posts. So keep this in mind together with rules of Guidelines and keep on posting.
However, if you have a serious problem with thread content, you should bring your concerns directly to the moderators or TIG staff. It's our job to make sure everything here on the TIG boards is up to standard. It's easy to reach us too: just email discuss@takingitglobal.org or TIG message us.
Thanks!
