 "What the dove thinks?"
Amir: December 13, 1986 - June 28, 2000 |
 |
In the Memory of an Arab-Palestinian Youth Shot by Ethnic Discrimination... Ethnic Cleansing. In the Memory of Amir, the Martyr - Alshaheed.
Amir was nearly a man, a bright youth of Palestine. He was deeply sensitive and responsible. His heart was full of questions: about the universe, the life, and about Palestine. One very early morning he deeply looked to the doves in his maternal grandmother yard and asked what the dove thinks. Maybe he saw the dove as the advancement and as the freedom denied to Palestinian youth.
Who killed Amir? Amir is an innocent victim of a war of oppression. Amir is a martyr. We honor him as Shaheed - witness through death - of the Palestinian struggle to live.
This tragic death changed the physical and spiritual life of his schoolmates, his friends, and his family - Arab Palestinians of 48 - who still grieve and wish they could at this moment feel his love, warmth, and carefulness. They miss and love him a lot.

In Arabic
"Mom, he shot me.
Did he know it is
Wrong to use guns?
Maybe if we had our own
Palestine not occupied
Maybe if his parents had
Taught him better
I'd still be alive now."
***
"And Mom, when you bury me
tell my sister to not be afraid
tell my brothers to be brave,
tell my father to be careful,
and when I go to heaven,
rise and let your soul be free."
***
"As I die I remember your arms Mom
holding me throughout my life.
Did the child that was I tell you
That I loved you?"
***
"And I love you my mother as I die
yet live always in your memory."
To Amir
"We miss you ya Amir.
It is so hard to believe that you are not here
darling, the day you finished school,
darling, was your last day with us here."
***
"We feel the pain and tragedy.
We feel anger and we feel the love.
We LOVE YOU so much ya Amir."
***
"Amir, why have you left the dove alone?
Why didn't you wait for Khalto to begin a new life,
with your dance, with your roses and your doves.
Why you were in harry, darling!
Didn't you want to know the truth of the doves?
Aren't you responsible for your doves, darling!
Why have you left them alone!
Oh how are they now!
Their tears don't dry and their souls are broken."
***
"Oh you prince, our prince, prince of Palestine
who will bring roses,
who will send "Hi Khalto"."
***
"Darling you are our soul
how beautiful you are how flourishing
By God, darling come back home
we love you we love you we miss you we miss you.
Yet you live always in our souls and memories."
To Khalto
"Be brave for me and be happy
be our family's pride even now
we need your marriage of love.
Save me deep inside your heart
Where I lie safe in your love."
"From inside your own self
I witness your wedding.
Do you feel my love?"
