Her life was stolen a brutal end Justice delayed a slow cruel end And little Hind Rajab killed and Her body lay a stark and silent thing Beneath the weeping willow's gentle sway
And her blood flowing everywhere As evil fills the air and the The killer escapes a coward's bend And on the streets we stop and pray A life once bright now she rests beneath The stars every night and A silent scream a life in vain ****** never ending in Palestine And it's a terrible shame and The memories of Hind Rajab Will never fade away and your Smile is deep in our hearts every day And you where so pure and sweet and Your country Palestine mourns your loss And hearts that beat now carry heavy chains And we truly miss you Hind Rajab And every night I light a candle just for you And for every silent cry that meets the dawn A question lingers echoing in vain And Hind Rajab we will forever and always remember you.
Hind Rajab, was a five-year-old Palestinian girl, in Gaza. As her family sought to escape the relentless bombardment in Tel al-Hawa, their car was mercilessly targeted by an Israeli tank in an attack that can only be described as a war crime. Hind survived the initial barrage, only to be left alone in the blood-soaked car, surrounded by the bodies of her loved ones. Her desperate cries for help, as she begged for rescue on the phone with emergency services, moved hearts around the world. The ambulance that was sent to save her, after hours of negotiation, was obliterated by the Israeli army, ensuring that Hind's life was cruelly and deliberately extinguished.
