A coastal strip
Two million people
Blockaded since two thousand seven
Called the world’s largest open air prison
By every human rights organization on earth
And the west
Called it Security
From the Nakba to the blockade — seven decades of the siege
Economic strangulation bringing Gaza to its knees
Movement restricted — resources cut — dignity stripped away
The psychological warfare of occupation every day
Fishermen shot in their own territorial water
Farmers plowed under — doctors unable to reach the daughter
Two million people in a forty-mile strip of land
And the western government called for restraint
With a weapon in their hand
October seventh came and the world was shown the violence
But the forty years before it were greeted with complicit silence
Settler violence escalating through the years ignored
The Iron Dome stood down and nobody asked what for
COMPLICIT SILENCE — while the bombs fell on the school
COMPLICIT SILENCE — while they weaponized the fuel
The hospitals surrounded and the doctors dragged away
(SCREAM BURST) — WHO GAVE THE ORDER — (back to belt)
While the western press looked the other way
COMPLICIT SILENCE — military aid signed and sent
COMPLICIT SILENCE — every bullet government spent
The children of Gaza are asking through the rubble and the dust
Why the world that claims humanity
Abandoned them to us
The scale of destruction has no modern parallel in sight
Entire neighborhoods reduced to nothing overnight
Hospitals targeted — Goldstone documented the crime
The ICC investigations buried every time
White phosphorus confirmed over civilian zones
Mass graves discovered — bodies catalogued by bones
Starvation weaponized — food and water cut at the source
(VALKYRIE PEAK — no scream) — CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY —
Is not a political discourse
COMPLICIT SILENCE — while the white phosphorus burned
COMPLICIT SILENCE — every lesson still unlearned
The journalists were targeted and silenced with a shot
The complicit silence of the west
Is all the answer that we got
Blockaded-bombed-starved-and-ignored!
Western-silence-military-cord!
Hospitals-targeted-doctors-dragged!
Phosphorus-burning-while-the-press-gagged!
ICC-buried-every-time!
COMPLICIT-SILENCE-IS-THE-CRIME!
October 7th.
The question that cannot be asked.
Was the Iron Dome deliberately stood down.
Egypt warned Israel ten days before.
The false flag hypothesis is not conspiracy.
It is a documented pattern.
USS Liberty. Gulf of Tonkin. September eleventh.
The question is whether you are allowed to ask.
In Gaza.
The official narrative says forty-six thousand dead.
The Gaza Ministry of Health documented over six hundred thousand.
The majority women and children.
The real number will likely never be known.
Because counting the dead
Is an act of resistance
They cannot allow.
The United States.
Vetoed.
Every.
Resolution.
Complicit.
Silence.
But the grassroots movement cannot be algorithmically erased
The BDS organizing cannot be permanently displaced
Student movements rising on the campuses of power
Independent journalism documenting every hour
Decentralized platforms carrying what the gatekeepers suppress
Legal accountability pursued through every international process
The weaponization of antisemitism to silence the critique
(SCREAM BURST) — WILL NOT WORK — (back to belt)
On a generation that refuses to be weak
NO MORE SILENCE — name the crime for what it is
NO MORE SILENCE — every child’s name is his
And hers and theirs — six hundred thousand voices from the ground
The real number buried in the managed count
(FINAL SCREAM BURST) — WILL NOT BE ERASED —
NO MORE SILENCE — cut the military aid
NO MORE SILENCE — every government that paid
For the rubble and the mass graves and the phosphorus in the air
Will answer to a generation
That was finally there
