All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Will cut down the unlucky ones
Hoping that tomorrow we’ll all be freed
Don’t feel the hunger—too weak to cry
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Are we the only human beings to survive?*
Are we the only human beings to survive?
When it comes to media coverage of U.S. and Israeli affairs in the Levant, conscientious journalists are nearly extinct. While the virtually omnipotent corporate media are concealing state terror and corruption by practically stove-piping cookie-cutter bureau reports and omitting entire stories, a precious few others actually have integrity. Their sense of humanity is matched only by their bravery in the face of tyranny and death. Those rare voices for the voiceless are courageously reporting those state crimes, on location. Endless respects to them and to the suffering people for whom they are the only voices.
