İntifada’nın 1. yılında Tel Aviv’de okunduğunda heyecana yol açan bu şiirin türkçesi Açık Radyo’da okunmuş -13 Şubat’ta galiba-. Şair İbrani Dili Edebiyatı Profesörü Dan Almagor imiş. Bu da zaten uzunca olan şiirin bir bölümü.. We Shoot Children Too, Don’t We

Most of these people truly desire To harvest their olive trees As they have for hundreds of years. Most of these people truly desire to raise their kids Not to throw stones Or Molotov cocktails, But to study in peace, To play in peace, And to raise a flag. Their own flag. And facing that flag, to cry As we did, that night, then, excited as we were. And we have no, have no, have no Right in the world To rob them of this desire. This flag, These tears. These tears, which always, always Come after all the others.
