Israel Offers Peace

By Genevieve Cora Fraser

1/2/03

His bullet ridden self
Penetrated
The consciousness
Of few media outlets
As blood oozed
Out he stared
Blankly
As his executioners
Laughed he slid
Out of their grasp
Death closed the door
To his torment
Medics held at bay
By IDF weapons
Looked on as the IDF
Did their job
Death is their tool
Of choice
For winning peace
Everlasting
For Palestinians

Palestine’s child
Just five was run-over
Today by a speeding
Settler
Tiny bones cracked
Eyes squished
Flesh squeezed
By the settler’s tires
Served him right
For getting in the way
Of the Settler
Is the way of g-d’s justice
Claiming death over life
For non-Jews
In the way
Of our rights
Resistance will not
Be tolerated


Children
Picking stones
Gunned down
Starved
Farmers fear
Groves uprooted
Blasted wells
Reservoirs, water pipes
Are for Jews
Not Palestinians
Unfit to live
In Israel’s right of way
A way Zion grants only
To the chosen people placed
In the garden
Given to Jews
Alone

Bullets sprayed the Wall
Crowded with Palestinian
Sympathizers Palestinian
Protesters
A Jew
Hit by a Jewish bullet
No way to tell the difference
Between the traitor
Jew and Palestinian

Rafah, Jenin,
Nablus, Gaza, all
Buzzed by bullets
Bombs, thunder of jet
Fighters
Giant treads grinding
Scooping, blasting
Lungs, hearts, brains
And sinews
Collapsed in the dust
Drenched in the blood
Of the lamb
They sank lost in chaos
In annihilation’s smile
Sharon is Glorious
His Zenith Rising
For History Death is Glory
When the prize is
Palestine cleansed
Of Palestinians

If you stop terrorizing Israel
Israel will grant you Peace
Behind a walled silence
We hold the ke! y
To our security
Silence, silence, silence
Grants you peace
Of the grave

1/1/2004

(My apology to members of the Jewish community who actively support peace and respect the rights of others. It is very painful for me to write of the Zionist hijacking of the Jewish religion and the resulting attitudes that have inflicted unspeakable horror on the rightful heirs of Palestine, it's people who have cherished the Holy Land for thousands of years. The would-be heirs take and ravage and take. They worship the Golden Calf, not G-d.)
