song for her (israel)

Do you really think that if she ceased to exist
The violence would drop?
I really don’t think so
But your theories would stop
She isn’t the reason why the Sudanese Christians
Were so brutalized
There was no connection between the slaughter of thousands, it was pure genocide-
Who vocalized difference in the city of Hama thinking ‘gods on our side’
While Assad waved his hand at the Syrian sun
and let the bodies float on
And Nasser’s invasion and the gassing of Yemenites had nothing to do
With a people living peacefully in a land filled with Moslems, Christians and Jews.
And please with your scape-goating, irrational theories How can you explain
The bombings in tel aviv,
The bombings in West Africa, London and Spain
Hussein didn’t torture his very own people
Because of her
Or invade Kuwait or spill oil on the birds
Because of her
So quit blaming her. Quit blaming her
For all of the world’s problems.
Stop shaming her, stop shaming
Her
If you don’t know what you’re talking about.
They can live in her and they do
But she can’t live in you
You know what would happen to her if she even tried to!
