"They killed us, they displaced us, and now the stones in our hands are our weapons ... In my hand, I carry my coffin, and in your hand, you carry revenge," read the lyrics of the song released yesterday.

The eight-minute-long music video features the Arab artists singing for Palestine a composition that follows the path of “We Are the World” and “The Arab Dream,” but in “a contemporary reinterpretation, echoing the struggles and emotions of our era, seamlessly fusing elements of hip-hop, rap, Arabic backbeats, and soulful ballads,” according to a press release.

“Rajieen” aims to call for the unification of musicians, artists, and people at large from the MENA region and to "ignite a worldwide call for justice and unity, underscored by unyielding protest."

The video includes famous Arab singers like Saif Safadi, Dana Salah, Ghalia Chaker, Afroto, Nordo, Saif Shroof, Akhras, Issam AlNajjar, Amir Eid, Balti, Wessam Qutub, Dina Wideidi, Bataineh, Omar Rammal, Alyoung, Randar, Vortex, Small X, ALA, Fuad Gritli, Donia Wael, Zeyne, Marwan Moussa, Marwan Pablo, and Dafencii. 

The powerful lyrics fuse many social, historical, and political threads into the composition, pointing to the decades of injustice and occupation of the Palestinian territories, the current events, and the world silence while Palestinian children are being killed fiercely on the streets.

The anthem also presents a sorrowful comparison between the international community’s stance towards the situation in Palestine and in Ukraine. "Sorry that I'm not from Ukraine. Sorry that my skin is not white. Sorry to my children, that I brought you into such a hypocritical and unfair world," the lyrics read.

The lyrics also address the Arab leaders, urging them to take action. 

"We are calling upon you Arab leaders. Our families in Gaza are today subject to extermination. We're given two choices: either death or victory. A Palestinian –condemned to death since birth ... Where are the Arab nations, it's time to rise up. How can we declare peace when Balfour Declaration stands?" the lyrics say.

The song displays many strong images showing Palestinian cities in rubble, wounded children, and international demonstrations calling to stop the war on Gaza.

The composition is produced by the Jordanian producer and multi-instrumentalist Nasir Al-Bashir, with support from the Egyptian music producers and artists Marwan Moussa and Amr Shomali. The producers said: "All revenue generated by Rajieen will be committed to supporting the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund."
