What is the Crime that Warrants such a Fate by Michael Hall

By What Crime is this to Punish?

Please tell me anyone

by what horrific crime did the Palestinians do to deserve such punishment?

TheNakba of 48 was an unearned penance

Someone please tell me why do they have to suffer so?

Did the Palestinians commit holocaust upon their brothers?
No, that was done by their landlords up in Germanic lands

Did the Palestinians profane the maker or squander the land?

No, they have lived there as unobtrusive beings for thousands of years

Then why did the world 'take' what wasn't theirs to 'give' in 1948?

Did the guilt for european crimes they discharged finally force their conscience to make amends?

But why give the Jews something they gave up themselves for 2000 years

Why should the Palestinians suffer the cost for a crime they did not commit?

Now they come and they want it all

they steal and rob,connive and bully

they use the court,guns,missiles and tanks, and of course the aced in the hole;anit-semitism when we point out the crimes

and it seems all law is ignored in the silence of this iniquity

Are these Palestinians terrorists and zealots?

are they dirty and evil bent on world domination?

i have been with them and a more gracious people i have not yet found

kind, generous,gentle and humble, they are a people grown up

They finally get to vote in a free and fair election back in 2006 and they get thrown in a prison for it

then their elected officials get kidnapped,thrown in jail and assassinated and this is called; 'legimate self-defense'

they are called terrorists for defending their homes from tanks and bulldozers and soldiers who shoot their children and throw them in jails for throwing stones in response to missile salvos

collective punishment is committed on men, women and children because they dare to complain and refuse to surrender their dignity, human rights and bare their throat forever to the oppressor

In the land of their ancestor's they suffer segregation,ethnic cleansing, apartheid, eviction and confiscation

from settlers who never seen the land before but in pictures and photographs

they attack and destroy with rabid abandon and insanity

and the government always does what it can to assist in the crime

What does America and Europe do to protest this mass crime?

They call this unfortunate, when Israel demolishes a home and charges the evicted the cost

They call this regrettable when settlements increase like boils on the land but refuse sanctions or punishment

and what of Arab brothers, who in their silence complicity as they sell Israel the fuel to fly their bombers that kill so many?

By what right, by what law do we allow this to continue?

Where are the sanctions?

Where are the punishments

Where is the justice in a land that justice has not seen in over 60 years?
