Palestinian Child Recites Poem on Hamas TV to Commemorate Nakba: I Shall Buy a Bullet

The Hamas TV children's show "Pioneers of Tomorrow" recently hosted a young Palestinian girl, who recited a poem to commemorate the Nakba. "I shall buy a bullet, at any price," proclaimed Zahra Zaed, and Nahoul, the giant bee character co-hosting the show, cried words of encouragement. The show aired on Al-Aqsa TV on May 16.

Following is an excerpt:

Child TV host: Will you recite another poem for us – "The Bullet"?

Giant bee Nahoul: That's great. How wonderful, Zahra.

Zahra: I shall walk barefoot.

I shall walk in the pouring rain.

Through thorns, despite the fire,

Despite the pain...

I shall buy a bullet, at any price.

They dispersed my family,

I shall buy a bullet, at any price.
