Cunning Right Hand.

Cunning Right Hand.

For there they that carried us away captive

required of us a song;

and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,

Sing us one of the songs of Tzion.

How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand forget her cunning.

                              Book of Psalms

But your right hand never forgot its cunning

Lobbing bombs into UN sanctioned safe zones

You are losing the war you think you are winning

Hamas rockets still threaten your homes

They tunnel beneath your dwellings

Can you tell the fighters from civilians?

How can you tally the bodies of children?

Is this a Jewish blitzkrieg?

(How ironic)

And why do they fight?

For the same thing you did.

Remember the bombing of The King David Hotel?

Zionists are not above using terrorism

To achieve their ends

So why begrudge the Palestinians theirs?

Israel is an idea, a panacea

A placation to a broken, wandering people

Granted by the UN, secured by terrorism

To the disenfranchisement of Palestinians

You have the right to defend your land

But not at the expense of other peoples right

To call that land HOME

Stop all development in disputed territories NOW

Establish an independent Palestinian territory NOW

Trading on European holocaust guilt

Will only get you so far

After that, you’re on your own.
