I curse you, o Israel!
I curse your armies and their long knives and pistols whipping
Poised to slit the throats and puncture the bodies of the innocent
I curse your Prime Minister, and his cruel lips dripping
With the words of expansion and neutralisation, insistent and unrepentant
I curse you, o Israel.
I curse the flower of your youth, the young Israelis
Marching into the homes of their neighbours, annexing
The homes and stealing the land of Palestinians; the chrysalis
Of nakbatic resentment and rebellion burning, raging, ablazing
I curse you o Israel.
I curse your armies, with their bombs and their missiles
Raining down on the homes and the parched desert plains
Where does it say, in your Talmuds and your missals
That there is justification in murder for such fraudulent gains?
I curse you, o Israel!
I curse your nation and its brutal forgetfulness
You who have borne the brunt of industrial murder
Now commit murder in turn, without tear or remorse
May your crimes today pull you under and asunder!
Today we are armed with nothing but tearful prayers
But look, yonder, the armies of angels in the Heavens
Say “Amen!” above us, in the skies and its seven layers
Their lances shall pierce your skulls and impale your legions!
#770 On Israel’s Attack on Hamas Leaders in Qatar
- The recent attack committed by Israel on Qatari soil against Hamas leaders demonstrated an undeniable fact: Israel is now a cancer in the heart of the Middle East, and an active aggressor that needs to be repulsed.
- While there is a case to be made against Hamas’ actions on October 2023, the ensuring response from the Netanyahu administration has shown that Israel is now clearly a genocidal regime that must be stopped.
- The tragedy is that under the current Trump administration, this Israeli government believes that it can act with impunity, and take advantage of American acquiescence to expand its covert and military operations across the Middle East: from Lebanon and Iran, and now into Qatar.
- For the Gulf states that have forged their own security and energy arrangements with the US over the course of the 20th century, there is a choice to be made: will they continue to cower in the face of Israeli imperial ambitions, or will they take action to wield their (not inconsiderable) economic and geopolitical heft to make a stand against Israel?
My take: Netanyahu’s decision to expand Israel’s imperial aggression as a means of showing a determined response to the October 2023 attack will likely lead to a decades-long cascade of reactions and counter-reactions that will eventually lead to a denouement of the Israeli saga of regional destabilisation and colonialism, and an unraveling of Israeli as a Jewish apartheid regime, as the US’ global hegemony continues to erode over the coming decades.
Tentang Lembaran Luka di Tanah Gaza
Dosa murka berbalas luka Asal mangsa jadi penjajah Tanah Gaza berlembar duka Tujuh dekad bermandi darah Dosa bunuh berbalas bunuh Insan kerdil terdagang nyawa Satu dunia berjiwa rusuh Hati ummah remuk meronta Apa mungkin masih berdiam Apa mungkin berpejam mata Hati marak jangan diredam Jalan aman cari bersama.
On The Israeli Bombardment of Al Ahli Hospital
Too many eyes have been wounded tonight
Eyes which have wept wet tears of blinding grief
Now red, bleared, livid with war’s burning fog.
Bloodshot eyes, now braying for the blood of
Children, women whose only sin is that
They dare to insist on the right to live.
