"We will not go down" Lyrics:
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

konfetkaUA: Блядь.... да остановите же этот сраный израиль!!!!!!!!!!! Дайте мне автомат! Сколько же можно истреблять бедных палестинцев? Ведь это их земля!!!! Freedom Palestine!!!!!!!!!!
bergandhod: Not all Americans love Israel you know. Your post only shows your ignorance.
anyname666: In any business adventure, after u have lost a bunch of money u have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off & START OVER. If u are keep looking to the last failure u will not be able to move on with a successful business. Same for almost anything in life. The wars only continue because people keep them going. JUST STOP IT. STOP throwing rocks, STOP blowing yourselves up. STOP name calling, STOP finger pointing. STOP anything inflammatory. Just do what ever it takes to get along with one another
anyname666: Hey you guys. Why not try this Forget the past Forget who shot who Forget who took whos land Forget all of it Now lets all be friends and start over. From right now. A new beginning. Those that harbor hate from the past will never make it peacefully into the future.
yusuf04: may be you might let some one take over your house and kick you in the back yard. not the palistinians its there land
HDready100: ...stop the war ! ...PEACE !
elbombardi: There should be no Israel it is all Palestine ....... Long life Free Palestine .... Down with zionazis...
123456789basil: you idiot... he was supporting us... Ezzedeen01.. there are Muslims there to you know.. alot of them..
thenisserhaslanded: Hey, people who want to cynically tell the Palestinians to just dust themselves off and move on, I got two questions for you: 1) How would you feel if you were in their shoes, even for a day, in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank? Think about that. 2) All the Palestinians want is to live in the ancestral homeland. The Jews don't have to leave, but they have to accept the Palestinians in for a lasting peace in the Middle East. It's as simple as that. Peace and God bless.
GuanaquitoBuenaVibra: Is it really Palestine and not Israel?
najeealabbasi: THE JEWS HAVE TO LEAVE
IslamGuideCom: Yeah it is.
GuanaquitoBuenaVibra: ok.
aobeid: You're being extremely naive. As the saying goes: "The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget." Let's see how long it takes you to forget if I take away your home from you, kill your family and humiliate you day after day using every possible means.
aobeid: If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
anyname666: I live in America but my ancestors from the 1500s lived in England. The English bastards took my ancestors house, home and lands only because my ancestors practiced the wrong religion. Should I send my son and daughter over there now with a bomb strapped to their chests to blow up some people because I am too stupid to JUST LET IT GO??? STOP throwing rocks. STOP kicking up the dirt. STOP STOP STOP
aobeid: You're not comparing apples to apples here. If you're using the argument that we just need to forget and move on, it's kind of difficult given that it hasn't even been a year since this last war. The Palestinians do want to move on, but the Israeli's aren't letting them. To this day, the Zionist Jews are performing the same atrocities that they suffered during WWII; how hypocritical!
aobeid: Also, Making fun of little children throwing rocks at tanks? Who's the coward? The boy with the rock, or the soldier in the tank?
anyname666: #1 did you just say that the Jews have concentrations camps and are gassing all the Palestinians?? #2 the coward is the one who sends their children into the streets to throw the rocks at the tanks. What part of STOP IT do you not understand????? Apples to Apples???? This is not a fruit salad it is prolonging a war. Just STOP IT. Lemons to Lemons, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. JUST STOP.
TheSL4L01: @anyname66 What do you mean just stop it? Let me come to your house and make it my own and if you and your family try to retaliate how would you feel if the police came and told YOU to STOP IT!?
anyname666: This did not just happen last week It has been going on and on and on and on TIME TO STOP dosent matter who stops first u or them JUST STOP Pick up from where u are & carry on. This all started before your parents were born.. R U going to keep it going for another century so that no one can be happy all that time. JUST STOP & start over. In bussiness if things are going bad u have to CUT YOUR LOSSES at some point and JUST STOP and start over. If u do not then u will lose everything
TheSL4L01: @anyname66 Is that why after 100s of years of slave trade people still fought for justice? Is that why Palestine after so many years of torture are still standing for their rights? Ask yourself did Malcom X just give up even after 100s of years of racism? Ask yourself did the allied nations just give up after even after the dominating axis powers? Ask yourself did Ghandi just give up after 100s of years of British control of his land and resources? NO, ! then why should the Palestinians?
anyname666: Well then If u are committed to a cause right or wrong & u are aware of the repercussions of your actions u should not complain about the sequelae. U can not play with fire & then complain when u get burnt. If u are convinced of your place then stand up & take what ever comes of your actions without complaint. Slavery, racism, & government control have been going on since Egyptian times, GET OVER IT, LIVE WITH IT. Look where India & Africa are now that control was relinquished. JUST STOP & live
kollasal: (CONTINUED) You all have some points, and you all have some critical errors in your arguments. And i agree with your points, but violence isn't the answer( i know that has been said MANY MANY times before) :), an example, as a neutral standpoint, ( by the way i am from the USA) the September 11th attacks on US. It didn't accomplish anything except people dying and lives ruined. So stop fighting. I mean that sincerely.
kollasal: Don't you wish that your children one day don't have to fear everyday about explosions and attacks? I feel sorry for the Gaza's people's hardships, civilians should be kept out of all engagements, but that invasion would not of had to happen had not HAMAS launched rockets on Israeli civilians. I agree with anyname that they need to stop fighting, and i agree with others that Palestinians should be given their own state, similar to the West bank. Hoped this helped somewhat.
