Palestinian children are so wise beyond their years. 🥺❤️

I met Omar Eid in Qalqilya, in the West Bank, while filming a story for the Austraian TV about settler attacks. He wanted to read poem for us, and I told him I’d make him famous. Please listen to Omar’s poem, and help make him known. And the poem says:

All your armies,

All your fighters,

All your tanks,

All your soldiers,

Against a boy

Holding stones,

Standing there all alone.

In his eyes, I see the sun;

In his smile, I see the moon.

And I wondered, I only wondered , who’s weak, who’s strong,

Who’s right and who’s wrong.

And I wish, I truly wish, that the truth only has a tongue.
