Palestine (Remove filter)
Acceptance
In the rubble, he found an arm
It was very small, it wore a charm
An olive tree, on a silver chain
His little girl had one the same
But, that was attached to the whole of her?
Perhaps, the tears made his vision blur
He gently kissed it, laying it down
And, began again to search around.

Never Again Means Never Again-For Anyone!
Your Jewish Voice for Labour
is another voice for me,
a voice for cooperation,
a voice for good, not ill;
your Jewish Voice for Peace,
asks no more blood be spilled,
let your protests’ sound increase;
speak up my sisters, brothers,
for all humanity,
speak out against vile smears,
against hypocrisy,
speak out against apartheid,
Mandela was correct:
our freedom...

Zip it, Hotovely!
No, Board of Deputies of British Jews,
you do not speak for her;
neither does the tool-maker’s son,
he does not speak for her;
nor you, Hotovely, you don’t speak for her…
…for that brave Jewish lady with a conscience
whose family died in The Holocaust,
who, in London, engaged in peaceful protest,
was harassed, arrested and detained
for twenty-four hours by a bored-...

Deathstyle Choice
Her Deathstyle Choice!
The red red rose of Lancashire, it’s red for love,
the poppy, flower of Palestine which gives me hope,
the fragile Armistice poppy, of hope, not hate,
trodden in the mud by Braverman’s Nat C. friends,
by the Nazi hate-mob...

The Song of Songs
It’s with a heavy heart that I make this post, overwhelmed as I am, with emotions ranging from despair to incandescent rage about the tragic events in Israel and Palestine. I can’t find any helpful words to describe how I feel, so I’ll leave you with this.
It’s a beautiful love poem/song which I think is sung here in Hebrew, with what I think is possibly music of Arabic influence?
The sourc...

Double Haiku -النكبة an-Nakbah

From the frying pan
Of lying thieving scumbags,
To Tory-lite fire;
The tool-maker’s son,
Palestine’s blood on his hands,
Purging our Red Rose.

Labour Made Unelectable-How? With Help From A Foul-Mouthed Slanderer.
https://youtu.be/RBo9a8U9YZQ
As part of a long-running smear campaign against the elected leadership of the Labour Party, Dame Margaret Hodge accused Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of being a 'fucking antisemite and racist'. For this she received a mild rebuke by letter from Labour's Disciplinary Committee. Hodge compared this harrowing experience to that of being a Jew in the 1930s. Norman Finkel...

The Wall..
The Wall.. by Robert Eunson.
This is the place where dove's are nailed to stone..
Where the words we exist to resist, are written on the wall and where the spray can is mightier than the sword.
The year's of endless suffering..the check points..the land grab.the ilegal settlements.
The fear on both sides..The hate on both sides .The death on both sides.

An Angel Bathes In Tears
An Angel Bathes In Tears
Diniel rested for a second
and turned his eyes away
from those that he was caring for
and in that moment all was lost.
Now he bathes in the cascades
of acidic human tears
that flood the world with grief.
Erosive and corrosive
at the passing of infant souls
in a war that has no meaning
in a world that has no morals.
Now his dainty angel features
disappear unt...

FLIP-FLOPS AND BOTTLE TOPS
His Mother makes them both a snack
Jamal, he sits out in the back
Upon an empty old rice sack
Flip-flops and bottle tops
In Gaza, fun for girls and boys
Are simple things that make no noise
For Jamal they're his favourite toys
Flip-flops and bottle tops
He plays outside in rubble dust
His Mother smiles and is not fussed
It's safer there but only just

let us pretend
Let us pretend
that we haven’t been this way before
too recently and too often
that this is the way forward
that it is the road to the peace
which eluded you when you sent
planes and tanks and men
into Lebanon, Ramallah, Jenin,
Gaza, Gaza, Gaza.
Let us pretend
that this time will be different
that this time will be worth it
that you can tot up the lives...

Just Because They Once Were Victims
This is not an anti-semetic poem, or anti - Israeli poem.
This is a protest poem, in protest at the violation of human rights in attacking ships laden with aid and medical supplies bound for Gaza.
Israel has the right to exist... fact.
So does Palestine... fact.
Israel cannot starve out the ...
