This girl is named Hind Rajab. She is 6.
She was alone, scared, and had just seen her family murdered when she was killed by the Israeli military.
She tried to call for help but the Israeli army blocked medical and rescue from getting to her for an hour.
After negotiating with the Israeli army, two ambulances got dispatched, both were obliterated by Israeli bullets, their crews also killed.
By the time anyone got to her, she was dead.
She will forever be 6.
She was a little girl who was murdered by soldiers.
Her name was Hind Rajab.
She is one of so many

These are the last moments of her and her family https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpmQrFSSLqc
This is one story of many

This song is a rewrite of the Paul Simon song The Side of a Hill. It's the same song that you hear in the background of the Simon and Garfunkel version of Scarborough Fair.

I have been so overwhelmed with what is going on that its hard for me to keep up with the news. Between Ukraine and Gaza there is so much senseless killing and civilians are always the losing side. In Gaza so many of the casualties have been children. I can't stand it. There is so little any of us can do to change the minds of monsters. The least I can do is this.

Guitar, tin whistle, vocals and lyric rewrite are me, but if anyone wants to use this or do a version of it or any kind of art music or messaging to bring attention to the killing of children and families please do.

Any pro genocide, pro war or other disrespectful comments will be deleted, reported and the poster blocked. I don't give a single fuck. This is my post and not an invitation to argue for the mass killing of children.

Free Palestine.

Am G C G
On the side of a hill in the land of Palestine
C D7 G
A little girl lies asleep in the earth
Em D C G Bm
While down in Gaza a cruel war rages
C G C D Em G C G Am
And people forget what a child's life is worth

Am G C G
On the side of a hill, a little cloud weeps
C D7 G
And waters the grave with its silent tears
Em D C G Bm
While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Am G C D Em C G Am
That ended a life at the age of seven years

Am G C G
And genocide rages in the land of Palestine
C D7 G
And generals order their soldiers to kill
Em D C G Bm
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
Am G C D13 G C G C D7 G
While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
