Ibrahim Sbeihat: “I am a proud Palestinian, I am from the land of pride
A Palestinian, from the land of the prophets
A Palestinian, from the Gate to Heaven (i.e., Al-Aqsa Mosque)
A Palestinian, I am from the people of Haifa
I am from the people of Jaffa
I am from the people of Safed, the people of Acre
I am from the people of Nazareth
I am from Arab Jerusalem, I am from Gaza
A Palestinian, I am from the people of Nablus, from the people of Qalqilya, from the people of Jenin
A Palestinian, a proud Palestinian
I am from the people of Lod, from the people of Ramle, from the people of Ramallah and Jericho
I am from the people of Be’er Sheva, from the people of Tulkarem and Hebron
A Palestinian, from the people of the Triangle and the Golan
A Palestinian, ask the noble Negev, it has not forgotten me
A Palestinian, a proud Palestinian
I am from the people of the capital, from the people of Al-Majdal (i.e., Ashkelon)
I am from the people of Baqa [Al-Gharbiya], from the people of Ashdod, from the people of Umm Al-Fahm, from Shfaram and Beit Shean
A Palestinian, in Bethlehem I have a title
A Palestinian, from the people of Tayibe, Tiberias

A Palestinian, a proud Palestinian”
