if your poems are being published in a propagandist news outlet then your poems are propaganda

your poems will either be used to justify an “objective” “both sides”-ism or they will be used as clout to offset genocidal propaganda

This was one of the warmest evenings for Palestine in NYC, glad always to perform with Huda Asfourهدى عصفور. Thank you JESS X. SNOW 👁 cinemóvil nyc for organizing it along with other initiatives and volunteers, thanks to Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU for the support.

Separating the horrors in Gaza into how many people were martyred, how many are trapped underneath buildings, how many are injured or displaced, or are dying of hunger and thirst, how many are sick... doesn't encapsulate the degree of violence happening to each individual person.

On 1/27, 'A People’s Cinema & Night of Poetry and Song for Palestine' features screenings, readings, and books from cinemóvil nyc, La La Lil Jidar, Huda Asfourهدى عصفور, Farah Barqawi فرح, Mil Mundos Books fatimah asghar. & more: bit.ly/48PYjvY
