Following are excerpts from a song performed by child TV host Saraa Barhoum, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on December 20, 2007:

Saraa Barhoum: We liberated Gaza by force, not by Oslo or by Taba -

but with my steadfast people, and with its blazing fire.

We liberated Gaza by force, not by Oslo or by Taba -

but with my steadfast people, and with its blazing fire.

Rafah sings, and the Kalashnikov replies.

Rafah sings, and the Kalashnikov replies.

We, who know no fear, are the lions of the jungle.

Look how beautiful our Gaza is. We crowned it with a laurel wreath.

We have proven that with our will, we can defeat the colonialist army.

Look how beautiful our Gaza is. We crowned it with a laurel wreath.

We have proven that with our will, we can defeat the colonialist army.

We have regained our freedom through bloodshed and the wrath of fire.

We came out on the day of liberations to celebrate our pride – hurrah!

We came out on the day of liberations to celebrate our pride – hurrah!

[...]

Oh Gaza, the first stone [of the Intifada], where we celebrated our victory -

raise your sail for the sailors, and let your lighthouse illuminate the sea of blood.

Oh Gaza, the first stone [of the Intifada], where we celebrated our victory -

raise your sail for the sailors, and let your lighthouse illuminate the sea of blood.

If we receive good tidings, we will meet our death with no hesitation.

We are the swords of Allah, we are the victorious armies.

We are the swords of Allah, we are the victorious armies.

[...]

May all the martyrs be resurrected, and we will celebrate this day.

Award your victory to those who sacrifice themselves. This is your wedding, oh martyr.

May all the martyrs be resurrected, and we will celebrate this day.

Award your victory to those who sacrifices themselves. This is your wedding, oh martyr.

We say the joy in the eyes of the children. Oh Gaza, make that joy grow,

when this homeland is liberated from Tiberias to Anaba,

when this homeland is liberated from Tiberias to Anaba.

We liberated Gaza by force, not by Oslo or by Taba -

but with my steadfast people, and with its blazing fire.
