“Her eyes are Palestinian, Her name, Palestinian, Her dreams, and sorrow, Palestinian, Her words and her silence, Palestinian, Her voice, Palestinian, Her birth and her death, Palestinian, Palestine,I have carried you in my old notebooks as the fire of my verses”
“Palestine is the land I dream of the home in my heart that was never meant to be. A real shame that a young boy never got to experience a real upbringing in the land the that he’s from , a boy who missed out on the culture, friends and his family some of which had passed away. But it’s OK it will always have a place in this young boy’s heart.”
“Palestine is my home, even though I've never lived there. I'm constantly enveloped by my roots. My family holds strong nationalistic values, and I frequently indulge in our native cuisine. Palestine provides me comfort; simply hearing its name fills me with pride in my origin. When people learn of my Palestinian heritage, their faces brighten, and their shared joy brings me happiness.”
"I am an Irish Palestinian citizen, proud of my Palestinian heritage. Palestine boasts a rich history, with its people displaying true heroism. The struggle for freedom persists, and I am confident that we will overcome and attain the rightful freedom and rights we deserve. Above all, Palestine stands as a holy land, adorned with breathtaking landscapes and abundant crops. I yearn to witness the renowned olive tree groves I've heard so much about, and to behold the sacred mosques in Palestine. Long live Palestine."
"Palestine... Palestine is my country and homeland. It embodies all my hopes and aspirations; it is my mother and father. My heart is entwined with it, and my love for Palestine courses through my veins. It is the most cherished possession I have. Obviously, the ongoing events in Palestine do not bring happiness to anyone. However, the issue lies in the lack of action and concern. No one is moving, and no one is caring. Arab nations are divided and not supporting one another. The Arab leaders prioritize their own leadership and show little care for Palestine. Despite these challenges, I say to dear Palestine: Do not be disheartened and do not lose hope in achieving your dream of freedom. We stand firm on your land, resolute in our determination to attain freedom, despite all the difficulties. As for me, I am a root planted in your Palestinian land, and no one can ever uproot me. I love you, Palestine."
"Palestine is the land of my parents and grandparents, whose love courses deep within my veins—a symbol of a mother's kindness and a father's resistance. My love for Palestine will never wane, as my soul, blood, and breath are Palestinian. It stands as a doorway to history and glory, a place where spirits willingly give their lives. Palestine represents purity, a land we must one day return to and kiss its soil, if Allah wills. What lies between us is not confined to a year, ten, or a thousand years. Liberation battles endure as long as fasting, and we remain etched in your hearts like inscriptions on marble. Our rendezvous occurs with every sunset, and our imminent victory and conquest in Tel Aviv await the blessings of Allah. Smiles will grace the faces of Palestinian children once again, and the coming generation will experience joy, free from the tears in their mothers' eyes. The day will come when our aspirations and dreams of overcoming the enemy will become reality."
“The Palestine I see is not the one portrayed in the media, but the Palestine my parents grew up in – no borders, no checkpoints. It has taught me the genuine essence of Nationalism, and I am optimistic for the future. Inshallah, one day I will return to a liberated Palestine.”
"Born into a Palestinian family and being part of the Palestinian community, I am committed to resisting the apartheid occupation and striving for my rights as a Palestinian to live peacefully in my homeland, just as every individual deserves in their own land."
"I stand relentlessly against the worst kind of oppression, but my country and my people have taught me that giving up is not an option. My motherland has taught me and my children life lessons: not to surrender, not to waver, and to believe that Palestine will rise up again from under the rubble. Those who have fought for our freedom have not gone unnoticed, and they have contributed to the battle to preserve our heritage, land, history, and culture. It fills me with honor to be a Palestinian."
"Palestine is my dearest home and country; it's where I grew up and where the most cherished days of my life were spent. Like a treasured bride, she holds her trees, plains, and mountains. Although currently usurped, it's a temporary occupation, God willing. She's my mother whom I defend with all my might – my strength, resources, and family. Palestine will forever stand tall and defiant, rejecting humiliation and colonialism. My people and I will persistently fight until we liberate her. Palestine, the land of Israa and Meraaj, embodies our culture and civilization, a symbol we are proud of, and we will steadfastly cling to our traditions. It's my birthplace, where I'll live and where I'll pass away, Insha'Allah."
"I recognize myself as Palestinian, stemming from my heritage. Many view me as Irish, given my birth and upbringing in Ireland. I cherish this nation – its people, culture, and history. If I were ever to depart, I'm certain I'd yearn for it. Yet, an internal force constantly pulls me toward my homeland. While I haven't had the chance to visit Palestine, I share a connection ... There's a profound sentiment in my heart – intense love, immense passion, and unwavering loyalty to the land of my origin. It's challenging to precisely articulate or explain, but it's a feeling I hold deep within me."
"Palestine! The love, the life, the mother, and the hope we live for reside in the yearning to return to you, for you are the land of struggle and resilience. I openly and privately declare my allegiance to you, Palestine, for you define my identity – the birthplace of heroes. Palestine is a land that inherently belongs to its people. Some of us are no longer alive, others are present, yet many are yet to be born. We stand firm, undeterred by defeated armies, for our emotions and identities cannot be vanquished. Even if trees are felled, the roots endure."
“Palestine holds immense significance for me. The pride I feel for my country is so strong that I hope to visit Palestine once the conflict subsides. No one should be disheartened by their nationality. I am filled with profound pride in being Palestinian.”
“Being a Palestinian born and raised in Ireland, I have learned to appreciate the blessing I have been given in life. Being Palestinian is more than just a nationality to me, rather, it is my identity and has helped to shape me into the person ”
“To me being a Palestinian is to stand strong against all obstacles, to resist oppression, to love your family, friends an neighbours and you’re homeland. Although I have never seen Palestine it lives within me and forever will.”
