I Speak of Palestine

I speak of your insistence
on believing what you’re told
to be so blind:
you must have learned
what not to know
to be so cold that you can say
“These people do belong
inside this tomb.”
They cannot move
or live
or eat
And, yes,
I speak of Palestine.

You cannot hold
its fate is just
and not be part
of grinding up
their bones and blood
to mix with desert earth
and olive oil
to build your state, your jail;
a wall surrounds
their place, like this:
a torture room
a starving field
a stolen home
a human shield
a bullet for a child
and poison gas on village streets
their food, their food!
Their food is gone
you cleanse
and push
and punish
taking what you want
to have for you alone.

We know it’s rape,
and though the world records
your names and deeds,
the future courts and trials
will not revive
the dead, displaced and missing.

And yes, I speak of Palestine.

I have been looking at this cat’s eyes for many hours. She survived last night brutality. I am trying to read what is she trying to say. What is her experience.? The pain and suffering in her eyes are tremendous...

Courageous action...

During an action against the Israeli crimes, and calling for international protection for the Palestinians in the south Hebron hills today. They were asking me to leave.

“We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”

Palestine pre-1948

The video contains pictures of different Palestinian cities during the 1920's and 1930's, before the creation of the state of israel by the zionists in 1948.

palestinemuseum.us is bringing Malak Mattar artist to the US for a series of exhibits and speaking events. We hope most of you will attend to support Malak and help the Museum showcase Palestinian artistic excellence.

Wishing for Palestine to have its own Independence Day soon.

I reflect in my art my way of life, and my bad luck is that I am under occupation. I didn't choose that. It would be surrealistic to live under occupation and to paint nice flowers and beautiful women and everything is so nice. You can't do that. You have to reflect your life. I use symbolism quite often, and people tend to understand my symbolism.
