Genevieve Cora Fraser: Israel Taunts Hamas
Israel Taunts Hamas
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Betrayed
Rejected Fateh arrests
A
Hamas official
Smuggling funds
To the blockaded
poor
A last refuge
Refused for the
vanquished
Reduced to begging
At the world’s
door
Betrayed
Rejected Fateh is armed
By
Israel
Inciting civil war
Palestinians die
In
hospitals minus care
A shell game over Gaza
Thousands
of blasts
Like drum beats
Slay
Flare
iridescent
Turn night into day
Punished by Israel
A
democratic choice
Provokes rage
World
condemnation
For the doomed
Exiles in their own
land
No food, no medicine, no funds
Superior Nations
Speak
With forked tongues
Sneak, snake,
sabotage
Have their sway
Betrayed
Rejected Fateh
shoots
Up the town
Quassam rockets
Resistance on
display
Blames Hamas in power
Let retribution
play
IOF
Battalions in the West Bank
Kill at
will
Slay
Anyone in their way
Across the
spectrum
Palestinian society denied
Their say peddle
heritage
For food to live another day
America and the
EU
Join Israeli
Arrogance on display
Fateh is their
choice
Palestine be damned
Let Hamas
pay
Betrayed
Long before
Al
Nakba
Betrayed
By Arafat and Abbas
At Oslo, Camp
David
Roadmaps to nowhere
Then Hamas
Declared a
truce
Upheld Rights
Paid the fare
Selected not
rejected
A Nation in Birth
Hopeful
And
aware
Aborted
By Israeli
Pressure to succumb
To
play The Game
Or just play dumb
Shekels we will
pay
But first you must
Swallow hard
Forget your
pride
Humiliations on the rise
Forgo justice
Till
another day
Just
betray
Palestine
Betray
Betray
Betray
