Like so many people with a beating heart I have been profoundly affected by what is happening to the people of Palestine which is a brutal genocide - not a humanitarian crisis, as the media insist on calling it.
My good friends at Wavefield Studios kindly offered their space and time to record this song - Palaistin. I contributed the cost of the studio day to FAJR Scientific. and want to raise more funds through this song.
For over a year we have watched the mass slaughter of a people. Innocent people. Many of them children.
What I have witnessed has changed me. What I cannot comprehend is how the status quo continues and how some remain unchanged.
I have chosen FAJR as the organisation I will raise funds for because I have watched Dr Tahir and his team working tirelessly to save the lives of many children, covered in blood and missing limbs. I have listened to his accounts of their daily reality and I have seen his eyes. I don't know how he maintains his composure and strength but I am glad these organisations exist.
If you listen to the song, please acknowledge this by way of donation to Palestine:
My friend Mahdi works to keep the children entertained and gives them a means to express and process their trauma using his puppetry and theatre. You can donate here
