Rania Khaled Al Zaanin
I like Gaza and its streets and houses I don’t know why… I am not a child looking for a game to entertain her childhood.
Not a teenager who explodes in the first revolution of her feeling... not someone mad with no mind... not a rose seller who sells for lovers flowers (...)

She sheds tears and breathes anger
She calls (...)

And not find a shelter
Until when will Jerusalem remain crying
