"What's this?" I here you cry as you scream past in a MiG-31. "Two new pieces from Swissair171 in a matter of minutes?" But yes!
Anyway, here's the extended version of "Nkosi Sikelel' iPalestina" that I spent all of ten minutes knocking up. Enjoy!
Like the previous version of the song, this too is sung to the tune of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika", only this time it's the extended version from the soundtrack of the 1987 anti-Apartheid film Cry Freedom (which, incidentally, is one of my favourite movies of all time).

"And now for a timely reminded as to why we're here."
All of this has been done, of course, to protest Israel's ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the continually worsening violence against Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank and Occupied East Jerusalem, and the overtly racist regime of dispossession, settler colonialism and apartheid that presides over the lot and makes life a living Hell for anyone living from the Jordan River in the east to Mediterranean Sea in the west who isn't a Jew of European extraction. Oh, and don't even get me started on the complicity of Western governments and corporations in both the genocide in Gaza specifically and the subjugation of the Palestinian more generally. It has been left to the nations of the Global South (most notably South Africa, Colombia and Chile), as well as the surprisingly principled likes of Slovenia and Ireland, to pick up the slack and seek at least some crumbs of justice for Palestine from the wider international community, but there's only so much they can do and South Africa's ongoing genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice will likely take years to adjudicate. Meanwhile, time is rapidly running out for the people of Gaza. Israel is deliberately and forcibly starving the entire population of the Strip, barring entry to all but a thin trickle of aid in a man-made famine of biblical proportions. The images I have seen of walking ribcages, of emaciated children wasting away in their mother's arms, of skeletal infants dying in what's left of the health care system are straight out of the Holocaust or the Ethiopian famine in the 1980s, only this time they're being livestreamed in 4K to our social media feeds! Starving and desperate Palestinians are being made to wait for hours in degrading, dehumanising and humiliating conditions, only to be massacred by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) or the US and Israeli mercenaries of the notorious so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (a euphemistically-named CIA and Mossad front group), and what precious little food aid they do receive is often laced with Oxycodone to make them more compliant.
Winston Churchill once said that, "The Americans can always be relied upon to do the right thing – after they have exhausted the alternatives." Well, by the time America and the West have exhausted the alternatives in this instance and finally do the right thing, it will be too late for the people of Palestine and certainly it will be too late for the people of Gaza. The Apartheid State of Israel's mass murder machine will continue to operate and slaughter Gazans until the entire Strip is dead! Help us fight back. Share these lyrics with as many people as you possibly can, both on FurAffinity and off it. If enough of us do it, we might even "Nkosi Sikelel' iPalestina" the unofficial soundtrack of the broader Palestinian solidarity movement, just as "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" became the soundtrack of the anti-Apartheid movement back in the day.
Once again, please feel free to use this song at marches, rallies, meetings, protests, wherever support for Palestinian liberation and opposition to Israel's overtly racist settler colonial regime of dispossession, genocide and apartheid is voiced! Better yet, why not film yourself and/or your mates singing it and post it on social media? Who knows. you might even go viral with it! :D (Seriously, though, do it. Swissair171 commands you!)

For the record, I've no idea who (if anyone) owns the rights to "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" (if applicable). All I know is that (in terms of copyright, at least) I own nothing. I'm just a self-confessed dirty communist who likes to make a bit of pro-Palestine agitprop now and then.
AMANDLA!
