Free Palestine

Day 5
A Heart in the Embrace of Hardships
Tries to defy them, yet death rejects him

Weak, not knowing how to weep
Young, unable to bear life's burdens

I am slain upon the cross of my weakness
So list me among the names of the fallen

Do you know sorrow, or do you not?
I and despair are but fragments of my grief

Have you ever heard of a stranger
Who sees death’s nearness as the highest gift?

My estrangement is not my homeland, but rather
A stranger in time and in nature

I remember what has passed as time moves on
And my past mistakes lead me to my past

I hold back my tears while my soul collapses
Gripping my chest with clenched hands

So do not ask me about the past, for tales
Of it kill me upon the pages

Can we seek cover in the calm of the wind?
When the winds bring no shelter to the naked

Is a child bleeding near Jerusalem?
And I, like a mule, accept these chains?

On the ruins of Arabs stands a prison
Built by humiliation from the flesh of captives

We, as though among people, are but dead
Ashes unmoved by the misfortunes we bear

We increase in numbers falsely among people
Like a statue that mirrors reflect

My lineage to the Arabs is not my sin
It’s fate, a burden my hands cannot alter

As if mankind were born as stars
And I was created from sins alone

Is Jerusalem patient, my friend???
Shall the young girls reach glory before us???

If we have sold Jerusalem’s soil willingly
What dignity remains for the chaste against the vile?

So abandon your tears, they are of no use
Rise, for God’s sake, let us share in the shrapnel

Shall I fear to die for my land’s sake?
Who, then, shall do it if not me?

Of course, I'll help you write a comprehensive research paper on the reasons for Palestine's defeat in wars. Here is a draft of the research: --- *Reasons for Palestine's Defeat in Wars* *Introduction:* Since the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the region has witnessed numerous wars and conflicts that have significantly affected the Palestinian people. These wars have led to repeated defeats for Palestinians and their Arab allies. The aim of this research is to shed light on the main reasons for these defeats. *1. Lack of Military Preparedness:* One of the main reasons for the defeat of Palestinians is the lack of military preparedness. The Palestinian and Arab forces were not adequately equipped to face the well-trained and well-equipped Israeli forces⁽¹⁾. *2. Multiple Leaderships:* The multiplicity of leaderships and lack of coordination among Palestinian and Arab forces led to weaknesses in planning and execution.
