We created this song to uphold a just cause:

Lyrics
Fireworks over Israel
By: Innokids (Chinese group)
Fireworks in Israel Sky
Shattered the Iron Dome’s Lie
Who’s the terror who’s the foe
The world has clear eyes and will know
Redefined what truth means
Popping the bubble of its grace
Turns out that the God you praise
(Rabbi: the Jews run the show in the world, not because they want)
Never planned on saving all the human race
(Rabbi: because that’s what God wants)
Fireworks in Israel Sky
Is it judgment’s bell or a mournful cry
It’s the sound of Gaza’s souls in pain
An empire’s crumbling curtain call in rain
Fireworks in Israel Sky
Make the people question tell me why
Even if their world is full of problems
The “backward” people also want to see the day
All lives are equal regardless of status or identity
Not by someone’s will to be thrown away
When your tech is used for such massive overkill
How is that not savage standing still
Fireworks in Israel Sky
Is it judgment’s bell or a mournful cry
It’s the sound of Gaza’s souls in pain
An empire’s crumbling curtain call in rain
Fireworks in Israel Sky
Has shattered all the demons in the mind
Once believe the beacon’s holy light
Look into its shadow darkness you will find
Cannot learn to live with them in peace
They will one day tremble for their own arrogance
If you never learn to be good neighbors
You’ll lose your motherland and wander on
Fireworks in Israel Sky
A people’s rising call or a myth’s reply
Judgment may come late but it never fails to arrive
I never expected this day to come so urgently
Fireworks in Israel Sky
A declaration of uprising or a prophecy fulfilled
The ancient proverbs never start to fade
Grave injustice is a grave self-made
The ancient proverbs never start to fade
Grave injustice is a grave self-made
It is good to note that the younger set are clear in terms of genocide. I posted in the Daily Chronicles the events at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, which is a huge music festival. The authorities tried to silence one band and from that moment on, band after band appeared talking against genocide. I guess it is somewhat of a safe space, as they cannot arrest everyone, the whole audience, at a music festival. They can of course infiltrate future festivals and create mayhem, death and chaos which is most probably the next destabilization action.
Artists at Glastonbury continue to use their platform to speak out against Israels genocide in Gaza. This was displayed by Fontaines DC during their set.
Its comforting to know how Humane and Awake the global south pop (by all means) are in comparison of the West media and pop there … As a southerner I rejoice and nourish hope we establish Freedom and long deserved Peace.
Yes!! Thank you Jeff and Amarynth for sharing this. It’s beautiful, haunting and hopeful.
