Poetry for Palestine

“It is more important to be attractive than to be right"

 

Israel “brand” will magically smell sweeter

Hypocrites

 

 

This open letter is an enumeration of guidelines toward a possible PEACE, it is destined to BLIND supporters of ZIONISM who blather "peace" while live in a state of denial

 

 

Those who attempt to beautify the ugly fascist racist face of zionism, who apply themselves as a dripping lipstick on the lips of a pig in a futile attempt to revamp its gruesome features

 

Those who delude themselves that if they use their lovey-dovey words they could disguise the true vile nature, the wicked chauvinistic ideology and incessant crimes of the monster of zion

 

Those who feel no shame in defending a disgraceful entity which happened to be established by terror and maintained by terror and continue to exist by terrorising those under its control

 

Those who act as a pathetic frayed fig leaf trying to conceal the obscenity and hideous disgrace of their state which was audaciously built upon the destruction of another nation

 

Those who ludicrously still marvel at and admire the naked emperor’s clothes when everyone in the world could see his pitiful nudity

 

Those who utter their disingenuous wishes to coexist in peace while choosing to live in a state of denial with their heads in the sand by refusing to acknowledge or remedy their injustices and wrong-doings

 

Those who refuse to listen to the voice of reason and the call of justice, and muffle each and every whisper that asks for it

 

Those who silence any call for GENUINE and TOTAL reconciliation and block every REAL endeavour that gives an honest diagnosis and point out to the genuine healing process which would lead to reconciliation

 

Those who attempt to deceive the world by accusing every defiant and decent individual who insists upon full restoration of rights, dignity and humanity of Palestinians, by accusing him/ her of extremism, fanaticism or support of terrorism

 

Those who endeavour to cover the rays of truth with a sieve of lies

 

Neither do I desire to waste my breath on, nor do I have the interest to talk to

They are worthy only of their karma

 

Collaborators of crime, who want to escape responsibility, keep the status quo, and dismiss the due rights of their prey under the disguise of nonsensical words like:

 

"New israel wants peace"

“We must accept facts on the ground”

 “We must not go back in time”

 “We must look forward to the future”

 

What future, you hypocrites?

 

What good is a future built upon denied massacres and genocide?

What good is a future built upon incessant theft and lies?

What good is a future, in which the criminals would neither acknowledge their wrong doings nor have the desire to remedy the wounds of their injured victims

 

What is the meaning of words when actions counteract?

Have they never came across the saying “Actions speaks louder than words”?

 

Over the past sixty years you’ve had your say and you did what you chose to do,

 

And now,

 

Well, guess what?

 

It’s time for us to speak and for YOU to LISTEN to us and HEAR our say:

 

you are not welcome in our stolen land of Palestine with your existing mentality

 

Before we accept you and welcome you as guests and as our brothers and sisters in our land that you have stolen:

 

Go

 

Repent

 

Wash the blood off your hands

And weep

 

Weep the souls of the little ones you’ve murdered

 

Weep the innocent villages you’ve destroyed

 

Weep the blessed olive trees you’ve uprooted

 

Weep the tears of little girls you’ve orphaned

 

Weep the mutilated bodies of small boys you’ve devastated

 

Weep the tens of thousands of youth you’ve disabled

 

Weep the tens of thousands of homes you demolished

 

Weep the millions of aching hearts of refugees you’ve created

 

Weep the soil of the Holy Land you’ve polluted

 

Weep the stream waters and ancient wells you’ve poisoned

 

Weep the hundreds of thousands of bodies you’ve tortured

 

Weep the hills and orchards you’ve disfigured

 

Weep the alleyways you’ve dissected

 

Weep the landscape you’ve cut to pieces

 

Weep the towns you’ve bombed to oblivion

 

Weep the dignified women you’ve dishonoured

 

Weep the enduring elderly you’ve humiliated

 

Weep the infants you prevented from getting to hospitals

 

Weep the laughter and giggles of tiny ones you’ve muted

 

Weep the scents of herbs and blossoms you’ve suffocated

 

Weep the farms you’ve destroyed and confiscated

 

Weep the culture of embroidery, humus and falafel you’ve robbed and claimed 

 

Weep the prophets’ messages you’ve abused and defiled

 

Weep the Divine Guidance you’ve corrupted

 

Weep the Ten Commandments you’ve violated

 

 

 

And when you weep long enough, hard enough and sincerely enough, you will discover that you don’t need to come to us begging us to talk to you or to forgive you, you won’t need to go around the web scattering, boasting and blathering about peace

 

 Because if and when your repentance is genuine it will automatically show in your actions

 

You will know then what you have to do and how to do it, to be forgiven

 

And then and only then, you WILL find “peace” that you allegedly seek
