I see fear, hatred, oppression,

I see blindness caused by living a lie,

I see ignorance and propaganda,

I see extremism, fascism, fanaticism,

I see bullying and murder,

I see heartlessness and paranoia.

I see Israel.

 

I see a people made refugees in their own land,

By the caprices of international politics,

I see a people occupied by snakes,

Dogs and murderers,

For sixty-five years,

I see a people ignored and dumped upon internationally.

I see a people who fight for their freedom,

Literally with their lives,

I see a people proud,

Even after decades of foreign aid and foreign influence,

I see a people capable of responding,

Even now, with spirit, heart and rockets,

To Israel’s latest onslaught,

Against Gaza.

I see Palestine.
