RELEASING THE HOSTAGES

Let there be freedom

for the hostages,

those taken in that terrible Hamas raid,

may they be returned, safely,

to their homes and families.

And may the people of Palestine

be released as hostages

from the deadly, dehumanizing apartheid

that has been their existence for decades,

and free the hundreds of Palestinian prisoners,

including the women, children,

and the hundreds imprisoned without charge or trial.

There will never be Peace

until Justice is rendered to all.
