Tawfiq Zayyad and Refaat al Areer

Tawfiq Zayyad wrote:
'I never carried a rifle
On my shoulder
Or pulled a trigger.
All I have is a flute's melody,
A brush to paint my dreams, 
A bottle of ink.
All I have
Is unshakeable faith
And an infinite love
For my people in pain.'

His words were echoed recently by the martyr Refaat al Areer.  When the Isrselis killed him, the echo of his death was heard throughout the world and continues to break the silence imposed by  their propaganda.
