A century of savagery:
Ethnically cleansing us,
Slow-genociding us,
Slaughtering our babies,
Breaking the bones of our children,
Shooting at point blank our boys and girls,
Imprisoning and torturing our bravest,
Assassinating our finest,
Denying our refugees the right to return home,
Eradicating our architectural heritage,
Disconnecting our towns,
Uprooting our trees,
Stealing our water and resources,
Destroying our Biblical villages,
Demolishing our homes,
Sabotaging our landscape,
Poisoning our environment,
Desecrating our places of worship,
Violating the sanctuary of our ancestors,
Defaming our culture,
Denying our very humanity
Sabotaging our farms into a nuclear dump,
Replacing our peaceful, inclusive, life-cherishing Holy Land,
With a violent, exclusive, death-manufacturing unholy fortress
Then,
After all that;
They get “offended” that
WE DO NOT PARTICULARLY LIKE THEM !
HELLO…
How can one “love” evil?
