No good cause goes away without having its own form of music, clothes and poetry, this has been true since the dawn of time. Palestine is no different, it has given the Arab world and the rest of the world some of the best firebrand poets who breath life into things and manage to communicate in simple words, complex realities.

In London and out of Canada, this time we can a passionate voice delivering a heartwarming poem about Palestine and the attacks on Gaza in 2009. The poet's young age does little to stop her form giving us a true and a very real history lesson about the image Arabs and Muslims have in the Western media. That's the tale of Rafeef Ziadah Rafeef Ziadah is a Palestinian spoken word artist and activist. Her debut CD Hadeel.

Rafeef pulls no punches, she sounds like a real Palestinian who have had enough with the media indifference of the Palestinian plight. I tell you that really shows in her words.
