Ooh, I bet you’re wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue,
With some other guys you’re lettin’ go
Between the thousands of us
You know I want it more
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I found out yesterday.
Don’t you know that…

I heard it through the grapevine,
how much longer that I’ll do time,
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I’m just about to lose my mind.
Bibi, Bibi yeah.

I know a man ain’t supposed to cry,
But these tears I can’t hold inside.
Stayin’ here would end my life you see,
Cause the Shabak ain’t nice to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you’d free someone else
Instead…

I heard it through the grapevine,
how much longer that I’ll do time,
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I’m just about to lose my mind.
Bibi, Bibi yeah.

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can’t help bein’ confused
If it’s true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go?
Or keep me locked up just like before?
Don’t you know…

I heard it through the grapevine,
how much longer that I’ll do time,
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I’m just about to lose my mind.
Bibi, Bibi yeah.

Bibi, Bibi I know,
You ain’t lettin’ me go,
Said I heard it through the grapevine

TEST TEST GAL Our team has been devastated by the horrific events of this latest war. The world is reeling from Israel’s unprecedented onslaught on Gaza, inflicting mass devastation and death upon besieged Palestinians, as well as the atrocious attack and kidnappings by Hamas in Israel on October 7. Our hearts are with all the people and communities facing this violence.    We are in an extraordinarily dangerous era in Israel-Palestine. The bloodshed has reached extreme levels of brutality and threatens to engulf the entire region. Emboldened settlers in the West Bank, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to intensify their attacks on Palestinians. The most far-right government in Israel’s history is ramping up its policing of dissent, using the cover of war to silence Palestinian citizens and left-wing Jews who object to its policies.   This escalation has a very clear context, one that +972 has spent the past 14 years covering: Israeli society’s growing racism and militarism, entrenched occupation and apartheid, and a normalized siege on Gaza.   We are well positioned to cover this perilous moment – but we need your help to do it. This terrible period will challenge the humanity of all of those working for a better future in this land. Palestinians and Israelis are already organizing and strategizing to put up the fight of their lives.   Can we count on your support? +972 Magazine is a leading media voice of this movement, a desperately needed platform where Palestinian and Israeli journalists, activists, and thinkers can report on and analyze what is happening, guided by humanism, equality, and justice.
