In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you –
Ye are many – they are few'

'Gaza! Ancient sentinel of sea, doorway of Canaan, stronghold older than Rome! Hear this, World: if Gaza falls and world is silent, it is not Gaza condemned, but mankind. For in Gaza’s ruins lie ruins of our conscience, and Gaza’s silence resounds silence of the world'

Return your progress, your civilization, your peace. I do not want it. You say 'This is war'
