Thought for the day, Friday 29th November

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

“My sister, our land has a throbbing heart,
it doesn’t cease to beat, and it endures
the unendurable. It keeps the secrets
of hills and wombs. This land sprouting
with spikes and palms is also the land
that gives birth to a freedom-fighter.
This land, my sister, is a woman.”

Fadwa Tuqan, poet of Palestine (1917 – 2003)
