Oil And Genocide.

        He says it so well, his voice is a voice for justice, David Rovics has sang around the world, and it usually is a powerful message delivered with sincerity and compassion. Syria suffers as does a lot of the Middle East, mainly due to the Imperialists who want to control the oil and gas. However, Gaza has sufferer for decades, because of a religious belief, that some man in the sky promised that land to the Jews. So they go about a brutal land grab and a policy of savage genocide, while the rich Western nations supply the funding and the weaponry. The powers that be are not blind to the suffering of the people of Gaza, it just suits their purpose, as Syria bleeds and Gaza dies, the Imperialists bleat about helping them. So the slaughter and deprivation will continue, until we get rid of those powers that be.

 

     "If we wash our hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless we side with the powerful — we don’t remain neutral.“

BETWEEN PEOPLE, BRING THE WALLS DOWN.

No need to write anything, David says it all with much more feeling than I could.



Although the wall is now a reality, a huge scar across the land, it doesn't mean we should ignore it. Walls keep people out, but they also keep people in, walls crumble, they can also be brought down.

WE CAN SHUT THEM DOWN.

    
      With all the bank and vodafone occupations going on at the moment I thought that this David Rovics song from 2005 would be a good rallying call. There is nothing like a bit of music for keeping the spirit going, revolution best be a happy occasion, certainly something to sing about.
