A Nursery Rhyme
Sara

I am the child of Palestine
I have my cause and I have my rights
When I see my older brother
Taken up into outlaws' hands
I cry out the international cry
That if they shoot me to my death
I'll clutch a stone in my right hand
And never forget the martyrs' cause.
        ----translated nursery rhyme, as sung by a five year old girl, Khan Yunis, March 1994


I got this from a book I'm reading:
Gaza:Legacy of Occupation  A photographer's journey
Written by: Dick Doughty and Mohammed El Aydi
