SULAIMAN IS DEAD

Sulaiman Aqel Muhammad Shahin, age 22.

Another death.

Another life taken.

Another car riddled with bullets.

Another body laying on the ground within a circle of colonialists.

"But we are the victims!" say the colonialists.

The living colonialists, each with their gun and smart-phone taking a trophy photo.

The living colonialists, on occupied land illegally,

with the native dead in their feet.

Yes, they are the victims, because... because they say so.

We must believe it.

We must repeat it.

Because otherwise, antisemitism.

Sulaiman is dead.

We see him in photos

making a joke,

with a baby in his arms,

sitting with a Fatah flag behind him,

laying on the ground, dying or dead.

I condemn Israel.

I condemn Zionism.

There are no victims among adult colonialists.

Israel has no 'right to defend itself'.

Sulaiman had a right to live,

Sulaiman had a right to live free,

Sulaiman had a right to live free in a free Palestine.

Sulaiman lived his entire life under occupation.

Sulaiman is dead.

Palestine lives.
