Noam Chomsky: "The Palestine Chronicle has been an invaluable source of information and analysis about Palestine and related issues, drawing from a wide range of sources, including many that are otherwise inaccessible to the concerned public. An independent voice, it has been trustworthy and reliable. It is now entering its 11th year, and continues to be funded completely by readers. I hope that you will contribute to helping this unique publication to flourish." Click Here to Support The Palestine Chronicle.

By Rassool Jibraeel Snyman

I heard a tear fall
Somewhere in the universe
I was saddened
For no one listened
No one cared
The child cried alone
In Gaza
The dogs of war
Are pitiless
Devouring all with savagery
And mindless abandon
Jerusalem in her left hand
Bethlehem in her right
A bullet hole in her chest
I heard a tear fall
Somewhere in the universe
Was that god crying.
