Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Israel Strangles Palestine in Cold Blood
Israel Strangles Palestine in Cold Blood
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
June 2007
amid the stranglehold
Choking Gaza the blotting out
Of
the economy ensuring
No goods, no food, no medicine
No
help is on the way
Israel managed to secure
The
relative calm
By carrying out some 2380
Attacks
sources close
To the dead and dying
Palestinians
say
The International Press
Center pressed its
claim
Issued a report
Reporting 49 dead
And 147
wounded
All in a month’s work
For the most
moral
Military this side of
The Holocaust
Shelling,
shooting
Guided missile attacks
Bulldozer
Home
invasions
Come a calling
Slam down doors
Terrorize
the ancient
And disabled, babies
The
infirm
Mothers, fathers
Generations of
Witnesses
Tear stained
Agonized decades
Long abuse
at the hands
Of the Murderous Entitled
To take and
take and take
Dignity and rights
The very life of
Palestinian
Youngsters slammed
Against the
Wall
Rifles riveted to small heads
Blow the
bugle
Sound the alarm
Wake the martyred dead
2903
flying checkpoints
2925 kidnapped from the West
Bank
to Gaza
People snatched
Since the start
Of the
annual race
To wipe-out
Every trace
Of the ancient
and proud
Holy Landers
Wholly devastated
By the
Israeli-US
European Union
Pace to exterminate
Every
face
Of Palestine’s
Right to exist
In
peace
