منذ أن أبصرنا نور الحياة، كانت فيروز تردّد أغنياتها في أحضان أمهاتنا وجدّاتنا، وكانت صوتاً يشدّنا في المدى البعيد. رافقتنا أغنياتها في كل مكان - في المدرسة، وفي السهرات الكشفية، وفي الأعياد والمناسبات الكبرى، ولاحقاً من خلال حماستنا الوطنية ووعينا السياسي. لقد كانت فيروز، مرآة قصص حبنا، ورفيقة القمر في ليالينا، وكان لها الصدى الأكبر في قلوبنا حينما وُلد أبناؤنا حاملين معهم نبضاً جديداً وأملاً مضيئاً.
أغنياتها لم تكن مجرد لحن، بل كانت صرخة تتردد في كل زاوية. في السلم والحرب، في الفرح والحزن، في الانتصار والانكسار، في العزّ والفقر، في العناق والفراق، في ساعات الإيمان وأوقات التخلّي.
اليوم، ونحن نحتفل بعيدها، نعلم أنّ السنوات لم تفلح في المساس بصوتها. ٨٩ أو ٩٠ عاماً ، شو همّ؟ العمر رقمٌ لا معنى له.
"تعا تا نتخبى من درب الأعمار
و إذا هني كبروا ونحنا بقينا صغار
و سألونا وين كنتوا و ليش ما كبرتوا إنتو
منقلّن نسينا" …
فيروز تظلّ كما هي، الصوت الذي لا يشيخ، لأنّها ببساطة روح هذا الوطن كما الأوطان العربية الأصيلة، وعلامة عصيّة على ثقل الزمن. كلّما تصدح أغنياتها، نعود إلى تلك اللحظات العميقة في حياتنا، نتذكر التاريخ، نعيد رسم أفق الأمل، ونمضي إلى الأمام متحّدين.
ولأنّ فيروز ليست فقط الأيقونة والأسطورة وسيّدة الغناء وشاعرة الصوت، بل هي وطن، وحضارة، وشعب، وقصة نضال لا يتوقف، إليكم عند هذا الصباح أغنية "شادي".
تحمل هذه الأغنية في طياتها ذكرى أرضٍ سُلبت، ووعدٍ جائر، وصوتًا ضدّ الظلم الذي لا ينتهي. إنها مرآة لواقعنا المستمر. وفي كل مرة نسمعها، نعيش اللحظات المؤلمة صحيح، لكن نتذكّر أنّ "خلف الليل العاتي الأمواج ، يعلو سراج" و أنّه "من دمّ الشوارع ومن شُهدا الأرض اللي ماتوا للأرض ووجوهُن منسيِّة، جايي الحرّية" وأنّه "ومن يوم اللي تكَوَّن يا وطني الموج كنّا سوى، وليوم اللي بيعتق يا وطني الغيم رح نبقى سوى".
عقبال المئة ❤️🇱🇧

⭕️ A year ago Dr Julia Ali, played a piece from the film Pianist - the heartbreaking story of the Polish-Jewish musician, composer & Holocaust survivor Władysław Szpilman.
Her clip (below) showcased beauty, class & art.
Yesterday & from diaspora , she watched footage on social media of Israeli invaders desecrating her piano & home in south Lebanon, all while laughing & dicking around the ruins of the sanctuary she loved & they wrecked.
While Julia depicts the beauty of the people of south Lebanon, by contrast the invaders proved their depravity & evilness .
Do watch the entire reel.
Netanyahu just said "Hamas burned babies alive."
He then received a standing ovation by Congress.
FACT CHECK:
Zero babies were burned alive on October 7th.
This is What Really Happened @pularjs

🇺🇸🇮🇱 A VERY Brief History of Jewish-Israeli Subversion of American Government--this is what we're dealing with. Feel free to add more in the comments:
In 1947, the jewish terrorist Stern gang mailed letter bombs to Harry Truman in an attempt to assassinate him. They were unsuccessful, but Truman got the message. He changed his position and began to support Israeli statehood.
In 1948, the zionists assassinated Admiral James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy & first Secretary of Defense. He was one of principal and most power voices against the zionist terror colony project. He was thrown from his 15th-story hospital window with his gown's sash around his neck.
In 1954, Egyptian jews disguised as arabs bombed American targets in Egypt in an attempt to thwart US support for Nasser. Look up "The Lavon Affair," or "Operation Susannah."
In 1960, the jewish lobby attempted to purchase JFK's foreign policy in exchange for paying off his campaign's debts.
In 1963, American jews & Israelis led a conspiracy to assassinate JFK in order to thwart Palestinian Right of Return, JFK's efforts to stop Israel's nuclear program, and RFK's efforts to make the jewish lobby (forerunner of AIPAC) register as foreign agents. Thanks to Thomas Massie (and others) we now know that the Jewish lobby, now known as the "Israeli lobby" or AIPAC, has assigned a "handler" to every member of congress it installs.
By 1965, Israel had stolen up to 600 lbs of weapons-grade enriched uranium from the NUMEC nuclear plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania--making Israel a rogue nuclear power in the Middle East.
In 1967, Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 more. LBJ--having been installed as President by the Israel-led coup against JFK--helped cover it up.
In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated just after his victory in the California primary made him the favorite to win the presidency. An anti-zionist Christian Palestinian named Sirhan Sirhan was set up as the patsy in an obvious frame job. RFK was said to have his sights on re-opening the JFK investigation to get to the truth.
In 1972, just after winning his 2nd term, Richard Nixon was caught on secret recording admitting to jewish capture & subversion of the government and suggesting that he was going to 'do something about it' during his new term. Soon after, the Watergate break-in occurred & Nixon was forced to resign after a relentless press campaign led by the jewish-owned Washington Post & one of its jewish reporters, Carl Bernstein.
By 1972, Senator Fulbright revealed, "Israel controls the US Senate...somewhere around 80% are completely in support of Israel; anything Israel wants, Israel gets."
In 1991, President George HW Bush attempted to use US funding to Israel as a bargaining chip to get Israel to come to the peace negotiating table. Israel responded by pulling its support from Bush and giving it to Bill Clinton. No president since then has attempted to use the US aid to Israel as a bargaining chip again.
In 1998, Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to blackmail President Bill Clinton with recordings of his steamy sexual conversations with jewish "sparrow" agent Monica Lewinsky in exchange for freeing jewish spy Jonathan Pollard. When Clinton refused, the story of Clinton's affair with Lewinsky was leaked to the jewish website/media outlet "The Drudge Report," owned by Matt Drudge a gay jew. All sorts of fiascos resulted from the chaos, including impeachment.
September 10th, 2001, the US Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) issued an intelligence report stating of the Mossad (Israeli Intelligence): "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act." The next day, the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil happened.
September 11, 2001: 5 Dancing Israelis are caught filming and celebrating the attack on the World Trade Center. In all, 200 Israeli agents would be rounded up and deported. Some in vans containing residue of explosives.
September 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu testified before congress and insisted that the US take out Saddam Hussein in order to thwart his nuclear ambitions. The US would invade Iraq on intelligence provided by Israel that there were "Weapons of Mass Destruction."
September 2019, cellphone surveillance devices near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, D.C. were found--planted by Israel.
Honorable Mention: Ongoing Jeffery Epstein-style trafficking/entrapment/extortion/blackmail schemes.
“My mission is to share with people the beauty of Palestine.” Bethlehem-born Chef @FadiKattan welcomes me into his London restaurant to talk about food, heritage and the civilian suffering in Gaza. “Humanity has to prevail on this. We're being denied our existence,” he says.
Tamara Rasamny triumphed against all odds. Her graduation yesterday from Columbia University- against all odds- is not just a personal victory but a call to all parents to support our children as they stand firm for their beliefs. As a father, I am inspired by her resilience and dedication to peaceful protest and justice. I hope that universities truly embody the principles of freedom, human rights, and justice in their actions. Let us foster a world led with integrity and passion.

@RicardoRKaram “Tamara's crime was that she participated in peaceful demonstrations and sit ins urging for a cease fire in Gaza and for Columbia Univ to divest from companies doing business with an apartheid state that is commiting a genocide against the Palestinians.”
