One Song in 140+ Languages for Palestine (and Counting)

May 9, 2025 Ryo Ishii

This song comes from Palestine, but its heart beats for all of us.

It speaks to something universal—love, resilience, and our shared longing to belong. We’ve carried it now into more than 50 languages. Not to change it, but to carry its light farther. Across oceans, across heartbreak. Because music remembers what we forget: that the distance between us was never real.

Wherever you are, whatever sand you can throw on the gears of genocide, do it now. If it's a handful, throw it. If it's a fingernail full, scrape it out and throw. Get in the way however you can.

- Rasha Abdulhadi

This video is one small handful of sand—born from a love for the people of Palestine, thrown into the gears of silence and forgetting. If this song moves you, please share it. If it speaks your language, add your voice. And if it doesn’t yet, please help us bring it there.
