Odium, et al,
I think the production of this video (and editing), as well as the vocal and music arrangement is quite excellent. I think it communicates the message well. Yes, a
'We Will Not Go Down' by Michael Heart is a first rate production. It should be remembered and preserved as part of the story and history of the Gazians:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Sad and Criminal acts committed.
(COMMENT)
The lyrics, like most propaganda, paint one-side as demonic and evil --- while the other side is portrayed as heroic and steadfast against all odds.
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on whose wrong or right
The continuation of hostilities by the Palestinians --- and --- the failure to adhere with Customary and International Humanitarian Law were strong contributing factors excessive civilian Palestinian casualties. While the lyrics are very dramatic, they are not representative of actual events. The Hostile Arab Palestinians cannot “utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune" from Israeli combat engagements. Failure on the part of the HAMAS leadership to comply with the Customary and IHL is a contributing factor in the cause of that injuries and death. This was done on purpose to either shield hostile operations or create media sympathy and political pressure.
• Each party to the conflict must, to the extent feasible, avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas.
Article 13(1), Additional Protocol II, stipulates that “the civilian population and individual civilians shall enjoy general protection against the dangers arising from military operations” and it would be difficult to afford such protection when military objectives are located within or near densely populated areas.
The duty of each party to the conflict to avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas is set forth in Article 58(b) of Additional Protocol I, to which no reservations relevant to this rule have been made.
