A verse from: Eulogy To The High Shadow by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darweesh (1941-2008)
The verse translates to:
Arabs obeyed their foreign masters,
Arabs sold their souls,
Arabs … were lost.
This calligraphy work was made for the 40th anniversary of the savage Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the subsequent massacre of thousands of unarmed Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps by the Israeli-backed fascist Phalange militias.
Arab regimes friendly to the US were exposed by their deafening silence.
