This is a song about Ni’lin. Ni’lin is a town is Palestine where I attended a protest, learned of the occupation, marched, got sunburned and had Maqluba. Two years ago, I was welcomed into that country with open arms by people who have undergone hardship that I could not imagine, and yet are kinder, more resilient and full of more joy than any other people I have come across. It’s no accident we release this song this weekend. While art is used in Tel Aviv to whitewash and silence you, here’s my wee story about how you inspired me. To my Palestinian friends in Ni’lin, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Aida and to all those living under apartheid in Gaza and the West Bank or displaced and denied the right to return: love and solidarity from Scotland. Link to the full song in bio. #BDS #Eurovision #FreePalestine
