Mediterranean: Drama and solidarity

Joan Manuel Serrat made the lyrics and music of "Mediterranean" endearing, as a song to life with their own ambiguities.   

The pain. For centuries of wars, exiles, shipwrecks and human losses.

“Yo, that in the skin I have the bitter taste of eternal crying. Who have poured into you, One hundred peoples, from Algeciras to Istanbul. So you paint its long winter nights of blue. By force of misadventures, Your soul is deep and dark ".

Warmth. For memories and identity. “Maybe because my childhood continues to play on your beach. And hidden behind the reeds, Sleep my first love. I carry your light and your smell wherever I go. Y, piled up in your sand, I am loved, games and sorrows ".

But, Beyond the singer -songwriter's intentions when he composed the song in 1971, It serves as a metaphor of the current Mediterranean Claroscuro.  

Thousands of poor and desperate immigrants, Many of them children, They die when the improvised warehouses in which they navigate.   

The European Union let them die. Without providing them with the humanitarian aid they need to flee from horror healthy and saved.  

In Palestine thousands of people, mostly children, They are killed by Zionist forces. Genocide, Ethnic cleaning,  famine, destruction and occupation are executed to the discovered face.

Barbarie has Netyahu's face and the fascist state of Israel.

The European Union is responsible for warmth, inaction or direct complicity.

The sea also observes a town that clings to the desire to survive, In the hope of recovering his home and being free from the river to the sea.

Human dignity carries the colors of the Palestinian flag.

And the brave global Sumud Flotillat also appears (Gsf) What against wind and tide is heading to Gaza, To try to break the blockade to humanitarian aid, denounce the genocide and occupation of Palestine.

The European Union is questioned and has been exposed by a GSF that does what governments should do.

With each crew, With each activist and with each food box that transports the flotilla, the accumulated rage and the strength of the solidarity actions that travel the world travel.

Our hug to all and our partner celebrates Fierro, that integrates the GSF on behalf of the International Socialist League (LIS) and is aboard the adara.

Let's multiply the mobilizations in Palestine defense, For the high fire, The lifting of the blockade to the humanitarian aid and the detention of the genocide that even the UN recognizes as real. Let's take the GSF, demanding that governments effectively protect it and break relations with Israel right now.

Let's take as its own the words that the GSF wrote in its press release of the 16 of September:  

“Just as Palestinians are denied freedom of movement and are forced to abandon their homes, We reject a world where both the earth and the sea become spaces for dispossession and death. Together with our partners, We claim the Mediterranean as a space of justice and challenge. This sea should not be a cemetery for people in motion, but a place where freedom of movement and humanitarian access are defended, and where refugees and Palestinian rights are respected.

Not only do we carry humanitarian aid, but also a vision: a Mediterranean where no one is denied the right to circulate, Return and live with dignity ".
