Viva Palestina by Michael Hall

Viva Palestina

Gaza strangled by a Jewish anaconda

squeezing a slow death on this open air prison 1/2 of whom are children

while the Egyptians are paid off by the Americans to build a wall

as they beat and kill peace activists trying to get in with food and medicine

The silence of betrayal is a bloody scream

from 'Arab Brothers' who do nothing but wear keffyeh's in 'solidarity' as they sell Israel gasoline for its tanks

Obama on his soapbox pen ablaze with his eloquent fiery rhetoric

AIPAC and the Jewish hordes snuffed him out with a splash of 'facts on the ground' in his face

A freeze on construction for 10 months the Israeli's proudly told the world

but just yesterday another 700 homes to be built on top of the 800 the week before

seems that they build more when they announce a freeze and kill another 6 people calling for peace

but this is the truth of a lie in the middle east and Orwell would be ghastly proud

While in Gaza and the West Bank you need a permit to build which they won't permit

debris is used to rebuild because they don't allow wood, glass, steel, nails cement or glue in

schools, hospitals,homes, roads,bridges reduced to dusty grey rubble

so in Gaza with winter again approaching many live in UN tents and a few mud homes, they shiver and freeze

Dimes tossed to burn the faces of children

depleted uranium bullets to later cause cancer

systematic policy of evictions,confiscations,eradication's,occupation, isolation,deprivation, middle of the night incursions,kidnappings and blatant assassinations

all white washed by 'military security concerns' ethnic cleansing and then called 'Justified Self-Defense'

The ignorant and foolish spout in in frivolous disdain; "In this sandbox they have always have fought each other and always will"

The truth is quite the opposite and the holy land could be peaceful again if we call out for a secular,democratic nation living in egalitarianism

If we quit feeding a racist military occupation with our guns, bombs and complicit acquisition

We have betrayed these people and we must do something

call your congressman, call the president boycott the Israel money machine

for you are guilty just as much as the settler, the soldier, the politician

guilt and blame spreads from the center web of our nation as it supports this iniquity

What crime did the Gazans commit for them to suffer so?

They voted in a free and fair election for the first and last time so far in the middle east

they voted in Hamas because they were uncorrupted and spent their $ on the people

America and Israel went nuts, and did everything they could to destroy them

they robbed and bullied them,then financed armed and trained their now corrupted political foes

Then last year Israel did what it does to non-jews who refuse to surrender and cow down

they curtailed,cut,and limited services as collective punishment

then they humiliated and terrorized them by incursions,random shelling,assassinations kidnappings and sonic booms

then the 4th strongest military in the world assaulted a virtually defenseless prison for 22 days and murdered 1400 people with everything in their arsenal

They were put on a diet of cast lead and war crimes to punish like they were Rotterdam in 39

This was Leningrad, Stalingrad,Nanjing and Wounded Knee all rolled into one

And what did obama say and do?

He washed his hands of the blood by stating; "We only have one president"

What has changed in one year?

Gaza is still collectively punished,beat, starved and hectored

The situation is the same but worse

and we descend down the slippery slope to our own demise by our own dirty deeds
