Berlin is not a memory(3,45 minutes presentation)

Now, Berlin

is Qalqily

a

And Qalqilya

is an immense fence

Berlin is now a festive sign of victory

A sign that in

Ramallah...

...is tragic, even

pathetic

Or, indeed, we are the pathetic ones...

...because of our passivity

Apartheid is not a memory

Apartheid is now Abu Dis

…or the favela of Rocinha

As much cowards we are, as much we protect us with

trenches

…against the

barbarians

...and the espaldas mojadas

The Berliner wall is now a painting wall for tourists

But that one of

Palestine is made

with concrete..

.

...and with flesh and bones

We can root out their millennial olive trees

...break down their land

...tear down their homes

He doesn’t want to look at it...

…and we don’t want to see it

...but they smile,

...they trust,

...they hope for a future

...because they are not alone

When I saw this

picture I

wept

And my impotence.

..

...became a sculpture
