These monologues are records of the dead who have been
victims of the many massacres carried out by the Hagenah, the
Zionist paramilitary organization in British Mandatory Palestine,
established in 1920, then dissolved in 1948, and integrated into
the Israeli Defense Force after Israel declared independence or
rather the invasion of Palestine, followed many massacres of the
Indigenous people beginning with the 1948 nakba where approximately
800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their land and experienced
many roadblocks in trying to return home despite United Nations
General Assembly Resolution 194 (III).
The dead now lay in martyrdom. They tell of the horrors that took
place during the various massacres. These voices recall memories of
love, hope, despair, frustration, a fight, and passion for life
that resonate with everyone.
I find The Mole Vol XIII: In the Olive Grove a continuation of his evocative storytelling and masterful language tradition. This collection serves as a reflective journey into our collective past and a commentary on the depths and capabilities of the human heart. The poem's narrative is enlightening and a testament to Raye's ability to engage and move his readers. For those who have yet to discover, Raye's work is an excellent entry point into a world where history, emotion, and poetry converge.
