I’ve provided some links at other places to important articles about Gaza that I recommend. If people aren’t already, I recommend keeping up to date with news and analysis by reading MuslimMatters, Muddled Thoughts, Electronic Intifada, and Angry Arab.
I’m not recommending listening to music…but Irish American Muslim Hip Hop Artist Everlast has a nice video out for his song “Stone in My Hand” which includes the lyrics:
You build your fighter jets
You drop your bombs
You kill our fathers
You kill our moms
Kill our brothers and our sisters and our uncles and our aunts
And STILL I’m fighting with the stone that’s in my hand
…………
Blood runs the gutters
Smoke fills the sky
Every son that suffers
Every mother cries
So if you had enough and ready for your stand
I’ll be waiting with the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, Stone in my hand
All the love that’s in my heart and the stone that’s in my hand

Great song. I’ve always liked Everlast. He has matured alot as an artist. I love what the gas price sign says (or turns into) in that video, btw. So, so true.

If you’re not recommending music because you believe it to be ḥarâm, it’s very strange that you would then embed a music clip, dear brother.

Great tune, great lyrics. Very simple yet insightful to the devastation that is being set for generations to come.
Revolution and a new world order, not controlled by the current world dictators is needed.
