Where have all the Palestinians gone, long time passing?
Where have all the Palestinians gone, long time ago?
Where have all the Palestinians gone?
Torn from their villages, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the children gone, long time passing?
Where have all the children gone, echoes blow?
Where have all the children gone?
Lost to the rubble, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the mothers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the mothers gone, weeping slow?
Where have all the mothers gone?
Clutching silence, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all their voices gone, long time passing?
Where have all their voices gone, muffled low?
Where have all their voices gone?
Buried in headlines, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the hearts gone, long time passing?
Where have all the hearts gone, cold as stone?
Where have all the hearts gone?
Turned the other way, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where has justice wandered to, long time passing?
Where has justice wandered to, does anyone know?
Where has justice wandered to?
Lost in the darkness, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
And where will our conscience go, if we do nothing?
Where will our conscience go, after the show?
Where will our conscience go?
Gone with Palestine, every one.
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

The Palestinians are rapidly disappearing, we all know why. Israel is committing genocide.
The missing Palestinians have been bombed to atoms by a genocidal Israel.
Zionism is exclusivist, no room for the original inhabitants of the land in the Zionist settler state of Israel.
Powerful poem Bakchos. How many Palestinians has Israel murdered since 1948? Too many to count.
Where have all the Palestinians gone?
Murdered by Zionist Israel – that’s where!
All the Palestinian children have been vaporised by Israeli munitions. If the agent of extermination wasn’t Zionist Israel, people wouldn’t hesitate to use the word genocide.
