Laughter Of Our Children

Saw the below piece on Mick Hall's excellent site , who himself got it from The Bobby Sands trust, who got ity from Jafar Alam's site. http://www.organizedrage.com/2010/03/inspired-by-genius-of-banksy-and.html http://www.bobbysandstrust.com/archives/1689 http://jafaralam.blogspot.com/2010/03/inspired-by-genius-of-banksy-and.html So why not pass it on yourself.







Blogger, 27-year-old Jafar Alam, a Muslim, based in Toronto, posted this painting on his blog, Divine Breezes, which was inspired by ‘the genius of Banksy’, the British graffiti artist whose real identity remains a mystery.

Jafar writes below the painting: ‘Inspired by the genius of Banksy and the perpetual, revolutionary words of Bobby Sands:

‘“They will not criminalise us, rob us of our true identity, steal our individualism, depoliticise us, churn us out as systemised, institutionalised, decent law-abiding robots. We refuse to lie here in dishonor! We are not criminals, but Irishmen! This is the crime of which we stand accused. Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal…Our revenge will be the laughter of our children” – Bobby Sands

‘We refuse to lie here in dishonor! We are not terrorists, but Palestinians. This is the crime of which we stand accused. Our crime remains that we were born Palestinian.’
