Seven

- is a sacred number

Written early February 2013 - (40 lines)

*

We all well remember
The eleventh of September
Two thousand and one
When foul deeds were done
The aim to cause harm
To Muslims and Islam
The whole terror mission
Carried out with precision
Controlled demolition
Not just mad suspicion
But physical fact
Still nobody will act
The official commission
Noteworthy for omission
No mention at all
Of the collapse and fall
With an almighty crash
And many a strange flash
Of building number SEVEN
It will echo in heaven
Till the day justice reigns
And Palestine regains
Freedom once more
From the Zionist whore
And her client Jew-S-A
Let us all hope and pray
That it will not be long
Before a sacred song
Of thanks will be heard
And the crowds are stirred
To action against them
In al-Quds / Jerusalem
For a glorious fight
That will prove us right
When it finally ends
The slavery and sends
The Jews to the moon
It cannot come soon
Enough for most of us -
All gain and no loss!

NaZionism

- meet the identical twins, no, triplets!

Written 1-3 April 2009 - (232 lines)

*

NOTE:
I was greatly tempted to call this poem "A cow in Palestine"
but decided on the above. I am still not quite sure which I prefer...

The abbreviation PNAC stands for "The Project for the New American
Century", and if you visit their website it will tell you all you need to
know about the "project" which in short is world domination.

The abbreviation LBJ stands for Lyndon B. Johnson,
US democrat president from 1963 to 1969.

The quote: "Your goods returned to you!" is of course from Osama
bin Laden and he may not be a popular person to quote but, as a
sound bite of Islamic resistance to the atrocities perpetrated
against Muslims for decades, it is unsurpassed.

*

First there were none
Then emerged one
Followed by another, so now there were two
Then followed the call
And may God help us all
For a third, which exploded into full view

And what are the names of these three?
Really, it is no mystery
For anyone with eyes that are open to see:
Zionism - Nazism - PNAC

*

The civilised world proudly presents
What to all practical intents
And purposes appear to be two in one
Proving it really can be done:
Sinister and evil ideologies
Merging though officially enemies!
Judgment has formally been pronounced
And one is universally denounced
The other sponsored, protected, praised
With no eyebrows, fingers, voices raised!

Nazism or Zionism - which came first?
Can one be determined to be the worst?
The student of both soon begins
To get the feeling that they really are twins!

Shame on the all-knowing Christian West!
But time is about to put to the test
Who is right and who is wrong
Resistance is growing and today so strong
It is surely only a matter of time
Before the last ugly Zionist crime
Has been committed in the Holy Land
For the world is beginning to understand
What Zionism is and what it means
On centre stage and behind the scenes

Add to Nazism and Zionism now
One more, and you will all see how
The Project for the New American Century
Fits perfectly this unholy trinity
The very worst that recent history
Had to offer mankind in living memory -
None of the three has any right to exist
In a civilised world, and we must persist
In the struggle to expose them for what they are
Warning everybody of the real danger, far
Greater than any other we face
For they are enemies of the human race!

They lack the human capacity
To change places, not the audacity
To rant and rave, howl and squeal
About everything we do, while they steal
Anything they can lay their bloody hands on
No matter how barbaric, it will be done

Islamo-Fascism is their chosen term
For the steadfast and increasingly firm
Opposition to what the Christian West
Has long perpetrated against the rest
Of the world, with Muslims hardest hit
Small wonder we have had enough of it
And unless the West backs off and soon
The NaZionism/neo-Con tune
Is replaced and something friendly comes through
There will be more of: "Your goods returned to you!"

But in truth it is only one of their tricks
And reduced to simple semantics:
Accuse someone else of something horrible
And any sane person can immediately tell
That YOU are very different, so must be GOOD
That will be sensed and generally understood
For the subliminal message is that THEY
Are the opposite of what YOU do and say
Leaving you free to carry on as before
To kill and destroy and start another war

You point to the splinter in your brother's eye
But the log in your own you forever deny
For you are blind to any other view
Than the one of your own chosen few

*

They did indisputably collaborate!
The Zionists helped to facilitate
The persecution of the Jews
But most observers simply refuse
To accept it, as if it could not be true
But it is, so we must give it due
Weight if we are to comprehend
The past and the present, and to that end
The couple of quotes presented below
Will hopefully adequately show
What sentiments were and what deals were done
By early Zionists to move the project on

Exemplified here by one stark
And clinically cold cynical remark:
"A cow in Palestine, you must understand
Is worth all the Jews in Poland"

Or how about this to open your eyes
To what really does characterise
Zionism and all that it is -
Refusing to ransom Jews from the Nazis:
"The Jews who are already there [in Palestine]
Are the ones that matter, we do not care
About all the others, wherever they may be"
It must be clear now, and not only to me
That Zionism is evil through and through
So happy to condemn any fellow Jew
Even if it meant putting the stamp
On the ticket to the extermination camp

Their cloven feet in identical boots
The mixture of conscripts and willing recruits
Despite their apparently conflicting roles
Marched in step towards different goals
Which perversely overlapped so much
It is easy to see why they got in touch
With each other, for the Nazi call
Was to remove once and for all
The Jews from Europe, to the last one -
And what the Zionists wanted done
Was a Jewish homeland in Palestine
And any means were considered fine
So long as they brought forward the day
They could travel to the Middle East to stay

*

And when they got there, what did they do?
Cause murder and mayhem and chaos - the few
Who had lived there for centuries side by side
With the Arabs would quickly be denied
Their voice and their true identity banned
As decent Jews in the Holy Land

Proof upon proof, Zionism is malign:

The British headquarters in Palestine
The King David Hotel in Jerusalem
Blown up by a small group of them
Posing as Arabs, more than ninety dead
This act of pure terror quickly led
To the British withdrawing entirely
With the country exposed and the way now free

For false flag terrorism is nothing new
And a favourite tool of the Zionist Jew

*

Not long after, Folke Bernadotte
The UN envoy to Palestine, was shot
In his car in Jerusalem by Zionists
One more entry in the long bloody lists
Of assassinations and treachery
Perpetrated so efficiently
By the founding fathers, and today their sons
Carry on the proud tradition with bombs and guns

*

And how did the Zionist settlers greet
The local Palestinians they did meet?

They set to work and could not wait
Planned destruction and mindless hate
Every conceivable terror and wrong
Was unleashed on those who had lived there so long:
Thirtyfour massacres we know about
How many more may remain in doubt
Five hundred villages completely erased
The homeless survivors then further debased
Eight hundred thousand forced abroad
Ethnically cleansed from their land, outlawed
In barbaric ways so consummately
That Stalin and Hitler would nod approvingly

As the number of dead Palestinians grows
We are not sure how many - only Allah knows

*

And in the continuing terror feast
Jewish communities throughout the Middle East
Were attacked by roaming Zionist teams
Disguised as Arabs, nothing is what it seems
In brutal attempts to make them move
To settle in Israel, and so to prove
To Jews around the world that they
Should also think about the day
When they would follow, for the unspoken text:
If you do not, you might be next...

*

The USS Liberty incident
Proved yet again their evil intent
During the infamous Six Day War
Attacked and nearly sunk before
Heroic efforts by the crew
Kept it afloat on the deep blue -
Two hundred wounded and thirtyfour dead
The counter-attack began but instead
Of simply blowing the Israelis away
Within minutes it was called off by LBJ
For rather than risking the inevitable wrath
Of American Jews, the traitor chose the path
Of least resistance, so let his own
Compatriots be shot or miserably drown -
Such is the power of the Zionists
Over America, and whoever insists
That America is a free nation is a fool
The tragic reality is different and cruel
For America is NOT The Home of the Free
But a slave of Zionism, as anyone can see

PS to the above and in the same sad vein:
Congress investigated but again
LBJ put a cowardly stop
To proceedings by ordering a cover-up!

*

From September eleven two thousand and one
A heavy calibre Zionist gun
Pointed at the temple of commerce and trade
Still smokes today despite the efforts made
To clean up all traces, destroy the evidence
The official silence and neglicence
But look at the facts and you will not look in vain
And in cases like this ask yourself: who would gain
Most from a disaster of precisely this kind?
The answer is not difficult to find!

*

Conflict and war, destruction and death
Is the heartbeat, the pulse, the very breath
The life-drug without which Israel
Cannot exist, and most know it well
So do the world a favour and take it away
From its convulsive grip - TODAY!

Possibly conceived with good intent
But a thoroughly failed experiment
From the very beginning and ever since!
What must it take to finally convince
The romantics that it should never have been tried
For this is evil personified
A cancer introduced to the Middle East
Nurtured, expanding and having a feast
Enjoying its parasitic role
And Like Frankenstein's Monster it is out of control!

*

Despite the lies that the media tell
History proves beyond doubt that Israel
Was created and always has been maintained
Through violence and terror, invariably explained
As "self defence" and accepted as such
By the collective Christian West, which has much
First to answer for, then rectify
For nothing in the world can justify
Israel's behaviour in any way
And it cannot be allowed to go on another day!

Yet, proven daily by Israel
NaZionism is alive and well!

But - for how much longer? There is no doubt
That time and patience are both running out...

The Changing of the Guard

- all change but no change!

Written 22-24 March 2009 - (81 lines)

*

NOTE:
Obama should simply be seen as the heir to a system
which he cannot change and, judging by the people he
has surrounded himself with (or maybe more appropriate:
who have surrounded him, to ensure he does not deviate
from the script!), and judging by his performance so far,
that view has been confirmed.
Obama's main slogan throughout his long march to
the White House was: "Change we can believe in" -
and it already sounds like a sick joke.
As I predicted last November in The Fairground,
what Obama really meant all the time was:
"Expect little change and less to believe!"

*

After eight long and terrible years
To romantic dreamers it now appears
That new boy Obama is the right man
For recently the American
Democracy (of sorts!) intervened to depose
Satan and Co, and so to close
One horrible chapter - but hand on your heart
Is it not likely that a new one will start
Or seamlessly continue where Georgie stopped?
Or has the penny not yet dropped?

Read between the lines of the unofficial text
And you realise Obama is simply the next
In a long line of leaders to represent
A system impervious and resistant
To fundamental changes from within
And anyone planning to seriously begin
Such activities would be spotted and told
To stop at once by the monsters which hold
The real power in America, and so
Possibly reluctantly, all go with the flow
Long established, to apparent success -
Small wonder our world is in such a mess!

Patriots believe whatever lies they are fed
So to them a good Muslim is one who is dead
But to enlightened Americans I suggest
The following very simple test:

If Obama really is of a different kind
And seriously wants to go after and find
"Those who killed three thousand Americans" -

(And those three thousand from the WTC
Were the victims of a Zionist conspiracy
And in any case they should be seen
In the "light" of the insane Bush doctrine
According to which a preemptive strike
Against anyone or anything you do not like
As self defence can be fully justified
But more than four thousand Americans have died
And tens of thousands are forever maimed
As a direct result of that policy, which claimed
That protecting Americans was the only goal
Of the Chief Commander, may God damn the soul
Of that born-again Christian for eternity!
Halleluja! How clever can you be!) -

He should stay well out of Afghanistan
And the tribal areas of Pakistan
And issue arrest warrants in his backyard
For every single one of the old guard
Who are all out of office now, so could be pursued
But Obama will do nothing, for his hands are glued
To the past and to the system and to all those who paid
So handsomely for him to emerge ahead
On the day when it mattered most of all -
Any clean-up efforts will hit the brick wall
Built by old hands and insiders and, wait:
One of those is now his secretary of state!

There are masses of evidence but without the will
To break with the past, America is still
Going to continue the wrong way until
The world revokes its license to kill!

It is very sad, for America could
In theory be a power for good
Both at home and abroad, but is incapable
Of acting with integrity, it is impossible
For it to express its own authentic voice
For neo-Cons and Zionists leave it no choice
But to bow down before them and toe the line
Leading inevitably to the decline
Of America's power, but that is their loss:
The world does not need a self-imposed boss
Who re-writes the rules to suit his own ends
And those of his callous corporate friends
So selects which noble convention and law
To enforce, and which to simply ignore

And before they create one more mess
Time for a very brief BS:
[post script - and not the other!]

What difference does one letter make?
Not a lot you would think, so take
The B out of Obama, and guess
What to replace it with - an S...
And then we would finally break with the past
In a way which, inshallah, might even last!

Ten Little Georgie Boys

- a visit to the Bush cabinet of horrors

Written 22-24 March 2009 - (335 lines)

*

NOTE:
A review of some of the better known members of
the Bush administration, that rare rogue's gallery of
the very worst that America has to offer not only its
own citizens but the wider world.

No apologies to Condoleezza Rice for including
her here as one of Georgie's boys.
Though I do believe she is a female, both her chest
measurement and her famous cryptic remark that:
"My partner has never had a relationship with a man"
entitles us to have doubts.

*

To the very top of Capitol Hill
Georgie marched his men
How many is debated still
Most claim there were ten

Their joy and purpose, to maim and kill
Pleas for mercy in vain
If justice still exists, it will
Punish them again and again!

*

Georgie's cabinet of horrors was packed
With YES-boys who all evidently lacked
Any goodness and humanity
For, guided by the common insanity
That: "Might is right and we shall prevail
Christ is with us so we cannot fail!"
They wanted to change the course of history
Through The Project for the New American Century
Or PNAC for short, and their website makes clear
Not just in words but in concept and idea
That a new totalitarian ideology had dawned
And back in ninetyseven the world was warned
But tragically failed both to listen and to act
So left the road clear for that unholy pact
Of neo-Cons and Zionists, not all American
Accurately described as the Great Satan

Now, to find out if I had simply been wrong
Or too harsh in my assessment, I went along
To the cabinet of horrors to see for myself
The evidence displayed on every shelf
From floor to ceiling in every hall
I made serious efforts to study it all
And just as they were about to close
There was no longer any doubt that those
Persons were evil personified -
Stalin and Hitler were both denied
World dominance, their ultimate goal
Now the PNAC wanted for itself that role
And anyone heard to disagree
Would be silenced unceremoniously
Those guilty of breaking the re-written rules
Just filthy peasants and miserable fools
Only fit for being slaves
For life, then dig their graves
With bare hands while guards look on -
"We can do it and it shall be done!"
Was the implied but direct threat
From those monsters, so eager to get
Their bloody hands, through force and fear
On all that civilised people hold dear

*

Recall for a moment the promise Georgie made
Not only to Americans but us all when he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you elect me
I will pursue a humble foreign policy"
Well aware that the neo-Con-Zionist plan
For regime change not only in Afghanistan
But also in Iraq, Syria and Iran
Was ready and waiting at the Pentagon
Long before he arrived in Washington

A humble foreign policy! Just playing pretend:
Lies and deceit from beginning to end!

He stealthily hoisted the Skull and Bones
On the USS America, to dark undertones
Of foreboding of all things evil let loose
Its nuclear arsenal hanging like a noose
Around the neck of a trembling world
As the Jolly Satan was slowly unfurled
By a strange being with a hardly human smile
A hybrid of a goat and a reptile

We all endured his eight years of terror
While he committed one monstrous error
After another, defining his reign
Death and destruction, pillage and pain
Inflicted on millions without compassion or regret
A civilised world simply would not let
Such barbarians behave the way they do -
Their road show came very close to YOU!

*

Someone went through public statements by
His top officials and counted every lie
Made during the run-up to the Iraq war
And was baffled and ashamed by the final score:
Frantically trying to hypnotise
The world into believing their lies
Powell and Rice were never far behind
But leading from the front and obviously not inclined
To test Christian morals to see if he could tell
One single truth, the Chief Commander fell
In his desperate attempts to discredit Hans Blix
He lied two hundred and fiftysix
Times no less, it sounds incredible -
But then we all should do whatever we do well!

Only fools believe one word of the West
What is not downright lies is flattery and jest
Decent people cover their ears -
Put the West on probation for a hundred years!

*

Colin Powell, that otherwise possibly nice
And almost human person without vice
Fell victim to the game in a very big way
When he went to the Security Council to say:
"My friends, I have brought compelling evidence
Which I am confident will finally convince
The skeptics that the time for action is now
Or Saddam will again escape justice somehow -
Look at these pictures, indisputable proof
That, shaded by this tree and under that roof
Chemical laboratories are working overtime
And the piles there to the left are not innocent lime
But that dangerous substance known as yellow cake
A major ingredient if you wish to make
A nuclear bomb, look, there is a centrifuge
Hidden in that corner, the implications are huge!

And we do not know where all this ends
Saddam and al-Qaida have become best friends
Look there, training camps in the north-east
On the border with Iran, that well-known beast -
What more can I say, I beseech you now
To join the coalition, the sweat on my brow
Is only from the exertion of this talk
I fear that as I finish and begin to walk
To my chair, it will roll down into my eyes -
And four-star generals never tell lies!"

*

John Negroponte, an old expert on how
To foment and equip insurgencies, now
Put his vast experience from El Salvador
And Nicaragua where he was active before
At Georgie's disposal, as he wanted to use
It all in Iraq, for most locals would refuse
To wave the Skull and Bones and kiss the combat boots
Of the brutal invaders, so Johnnie planted roots
Of deception with great care, and soon the fruits
Were ripening, leading to tragic pursuits
Of one faction of Muslims against another
Clan against clan and brother against brother
The golden dome in Samarra was destroyed
By a blast in which no doubt Johnnie employed
Some of his recruits and all of his skills
To cause further chaos, even better when it kills -
Evil means to achieve evil ends!
Perhaps assisted here by a few Mossad friends?

*

Remember John Bolton, that outrageous thug
Less lovable and more slimy than a slug
Embarrassing his country again and again
As America's ambassador to the UN
Smuggled in discreetly while Congress was away
Through the back door, on a normal business day
It would not have approved him had it come to a vote

And to prove how evil he was, just one quote:
"I am damn proud that I was able to stall
The Security Council and resist the call
For an instant ceasefire when Israel
Was attacked by Hizbollah and did so well
Defending itself and the civilised world
Against all that those wicked Islamists hurled
Giving Israel time to cluster bomb
And infest with depleted uranium
Large parts of Lebanon, making sure that some
Effects will be felt for generations to come
Achieved only because the Council chewed the cud -
We must not compare Arab with Jewish blood"

*

When Bolton's term expired, his very good mate
Georgie did not even try to nominate
Him for a second, for he knew his man would fail
The hearings in Congress, but no problem: "Hail -
To the fuehrer!" barked the compliant voice
Of the one who was Georgie's second choice:

His famous Afghan dog Zalmay Khalilzad
Whom he had earlier sent to Baghdad
Specially trained and groomed for many years
Trotted out to perform now, his payback in arrears
Now proudly exhibited as a rare specimen
Proving that Muslims could join Georgie's men -
Zalmay a Muslim? Ha! Only in name!
True Muslims behaving like that would die of shame!
Still busy committing treason against his faith, when
He eagerly accepted that post at the UN

*

There was old Donald Rumsfeld, recycled once more
To do the job he did before
Remember his visit many years ago
To Iraq to drink tea with Saddam, now the foe!

His planning of the invasion of Iraq
Was a heady mixture of the ultra laid-back
And stupefying arrogance
Relying mainly on the dominance
Of high technology all around
Instead of old fashioned boots on the ground
He overruled those who criticised
And so his plan was authorised

Rummy had a talent for an abrasive phrase
Always delivered with a straight face
Here just three of his obscenities:
"The so-called Occupied Territories"
"To decapitate the leadership" he oversaw
What he modestly termed: "Shock and Awe"

And what prompted Georgie to earnestly say
Just before re-elected, that Rumsfeld would stay
At the Pentagon, when in truth he must have known
That the next day the president would disown
His secretary of defense, who then left?
Was Georgie himself maybe totally bereft
Of a brain and memory and those other handy things
That we all take for granted as normal human beings?

*

Paul Wolfowitz rose to dizzying heights
In charge of the World Bank, which supposedly fights
Poverty, malnutrition and disease
But he only got the job in order to ease
The way for The New World Order to control
Who gets what, through his overseeing role -
That was one of Georgie's most amazing scams:
Selecting a wolf to shepherd the lambs!

But he fell from the ivory tower in the end
When he gave a fat job to a girlfriend

*

Condoleezza Rice did immediately rouse
Suspicions that, with nothing in her blouse
She surely had something up her sleeve
For whenever she spoke it was hard to believe
That she possessed any intelligence
Yet a professor of political science
From respected Stanford University!
Condi, you bitch! You nearly fooled me!
From national security adviser in debate
Promoted later to secretary of state
But whatever she said, in public at least
As black beauty on behalf of the beast
Was a mixture of obvious outrageous lies
And a poor selection of the most pious
Pompous platitudes you have ever heard -
Did anyone anywhere believe one word?

*

Alberto Gonzales, the attorney general
Found a form of words to make acceptable
What conventions and laws expressly forbid
And when Congress grilled him on exactly what he did
He answered in one day of hearings: "Cannot recall"
A staggering seventysix times in all

And, incredibly, in spite of that long list
His old mate Georgie did still insist:
"I have every confidence in this fine man
A great attorney and a good American
He will stay on and get the job done" -
Yet soon after he resigned and was gone!

*

And remember senior advisor Karl Rove
Whom Georgie trusted above all others, he drove
The machine behind the long-term plans
To permanently establish the Republicans
With neo-Con and Zionist zeal and intent
As the natural party of government
Leading little by little to more and more
Central control and surveillance, before
Democracy itself would be on the lists
Of undesirables, like terrorists
And some day in the future, when the time was right
Quite possibly on a dark and cold night
When the monsters and the ogres could no longer wait
Outlawed, as a threat against the state

*

And so to Dick Cheney, the real president!
That sinister character who secrectly spent
September eleven two thousand and one
In a bunker to get a certain job done

Having first of course prepared the ground
And on the Internet can be found
The document, signed by Cheney in June
(He must have known what would happen soon!)
The VP officially taking control
From the Pentagon chief, thus the role
Of air defence overall command
And this is crucial to understand
Including shoot-down procedure, had passed
To Cheney - who then claimed the amassed
Planes taking part in war games that day
Masked the four "hijacked" ones in a way
That made them impossible to detect
Until it was just too late to deflect
Them from their fatal courses - BUT
Someone could not keep his mouth shut
So reported that Cheney specifically
When told by someone repeatedly
That "they" were now only x miles out
The figure reducing each time: "What about
Some new instructions?" was the implied
Question to Cheney, who replied:
"There are no new instructions, you hear what I say?"
CHENEY CHOSE TO DO NOTHING THAT DAY!

*

I stayed until closing time and did return
The following morning to see if I could learn
If at all possible, more about
Those described already, but I was thrown out!

Persona non grata was the reason, the guard
Told me, presenting his identity card
And while I argued that I should be allowed
Entry to the cabinet, in a country so proud
Of its freedom and democracy and equal rights for all
I managed to steal a glimpse behind the wall
And briefly saw two more of Georgie's boys
Standing there like statues, or life-sized toys:
First Lewis Libby, who then burst into life
And scooted off to blackmail somebody's wife
For his boss Dick Cheney, it was yet another fake:
Those two should now be forced to eat yellow cake!
Then the other crept away, out of sight, and he
Was that substitute Muslim Ahmad Chalabi

Have I seen all of Georgie's not so merry men?
All indications are, there were many more than ten!

*

A catalogue of the belligerent
Using devious tricks to circumvent
The dignified constitution of the land
Which Georgie himself, with raised hand
Had sworn to uphold: "So help me God!"
All soon forgotten when the insistent prod
Of Satan's fork weakened his Christian resolve
And he eagerly continued to evolve
Along the lines most profitable
To his handlers and their horrible
Visions of this world for us all -
It was probably the closest call
And we may learn more in future years
But nothing is what it appears
In this titanic struggle between
Good and evil, yet has there been
A clearer case of who is who
Of false and true, of what we must do?

And when we all hear the final bell
May that born-again Christian burn in hell!

*

On a wing and a prayer, but only at a push
Planet Earth did survive George W Bush
And his loathsome despicable killing crew
There is hard work for decades to repair and undo
The damage and mistrust, and when we meet
In four years time, here is the target to beat:

The first president of the new century
Was the most incompetent in history
Leaving self-made problems for posterity
Might is right, his only legacy
The world's lasting memory:
Contempt and revulsion for eternity!

The first president of the new millenium
Showed the world how close we have come
To total disaster - we desperately need some
New world order, but NOT the scum
Who brainwash the masses until deaf and dumb
That to solve any problem, just drop another bomb!

Which Holocaust?

- for sadly history is full of them

Written July 2008 - (810 lines)

*

INTRODUCTION:
Definition of the word HOLOCAUST:
Middle English,
from Late Latin holocaustum,
from Greek holokauston,
from neuter of holokaustos = burnt whole,
from hol + kaustos = whole + burnt

1 - a sacrifice consumed by fire.
2 - a thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life,
especially through fire.
3 - often with a capital H: the mass slaughter of European civilians
and especially Jews by the Nazis during World War II.
(end of definition)

But it has, unfortunately and incorrectly, become synonymous with
the Nazi persecution of the Jews only, no doubt due to the
efficiency and persistence of the Zionist propaganda machine.
The main aim of the poem is simply to redress that imbalance.
Although it briefly surveys many of the known holocausts from
more recent world history, it concentrates on America and the
Soviet Union, as they are the two outstanding examples
and, as they represent diametrically opposed systems,
they are particularly interesting to examine:

America - the self-imposed leader of the Christian
and (sort-of) democratic West,
representing a free (though manipulated) market economy
and private enterprise gone totally mad,
and responsible for one holocaust after another,

The Soviet Union - a dictatorial atheist ideology
turned into a rigid planned state economy,
responsible for one uninterrupted holocaust at home
with territorial expansions.
Structure:
The poem does not follow a strictly chronological order
but can of course be read top-down sequentially.
Or the reader can scroll down to a desired section
and concentrate on reading that.
Some of the sections are quite long
(America 272 lines, the Soviet Union 147 lines, Palestine 71 lines)
and I did consider breaking up the poem into several shorter ones.

To aid the reader in locating a particular section,
the sequence is as follows, with number of lines:
Intro - 25
Spanish in South and Central America - 31
The United States - 272
The Soviet Union - 147
Red China - 42
Nazi Germany - 24

Let me stress that I mean absolutely no disrespect
to victims of any holocaust not covered in the poem,
likewise it may seem insulting to cover say 2 million deaths
in 6 or 8 lines, but a writer has to make choices,
which events to concentrate on etc, and I hope that the
last few lines of the poem make my personal position clear:
that a human life is a human life.

The poem frequently uses the term "the Christian West"
as opposed to the currently used "the West".
But the West is overwhelmingly Christian, and not just in theory,
so it is not only a legitimate and appropriate expression but,
given the ongoing witch-hunt against Islam and Muslims,
it is absolutely vital to keep pointing out that all the atrocities
perpetrated by the West around the world are actually done with
the blessing of the Christian component of the collective West -
or it would immediately stop, repent and rectify its behaviour.

A long poem, yes - but I hope that the reader will persevere,
as I did in writing it, and see it through to the end.

Rarely pausing to catch your breath
You go on about persecution and death
On a scale so incomprehensibly vast
It makes all other tragedies, past
Or present, pale into insignificance
Until blue in the face - and here is the chance
To get an important question out
And so you all hear it we are going to shout:
WHICH HOLOCAUST ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

And the question is valid for the book
Of history is full of them, take a look
How far back do you wish to go?
A casual survey will quickly show
How common they are, so nothing new
Or terribly special, indeed quite a few
Are far worse than the one you market so well
On behalf of Zionism and Israel

Used and abused to always get your way
On the field of international power play
Like an ever-present red card up your sleeve
With hypnotic insistence you will have us believe
That this is the worst that ever took place
In the long journey of the human race -
NOT SO! Read on and a string of strong
Examples and evidence will prove you wrong

*

The level of barbarity unveiled
By the Catholic Spaniards after they sailed
Across the Atlantic to the Americas
Is staggering even today and has
Few equals among the hideous crimes
Perpetrated in historical times

In acts of unspeakable savagery
They set loose their destructive energy
Entire peoples and cultures wiped out
By the Virgin Mary's truly devout
And for those reluctant to accept God's word
It was forced conversion by the sword
Or another innocent head would roll -
Will we ever know the toll?

Ages of wisdom piled high and burnt
Some of that knowledge may have to be learnt
The hard and slow way all over again
Thanks to Christianity's zealous men

Irreplaceable artefacts looted and lost
Some were carefully ground to dust
In a far from unique combination of sheer
Superstition and mindless fear
Others were smashed or melted down
All done by those representing the crown
Of Christian Europe from where they came
And all are equally to blame
So must share the eternal shame
For crimes committed in the name
Of those they would so piously claim
To admire, revere and worship most:
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost

*

A few decades later more blood was spent
Much further north on that same continent
For the founding fathers were not content
To take just a little, they wanted it all
And sure it was sanctioned by divine call
The Quakers and other Christians
Set out to exterminate the Indians
Driving the natives from their own land
By any means at all that came to hand

The decline in numbers was alarmingly quick
And one particularly dirty trick
Made a contribution to the rapid decrease:
Trading blankets infested with deadly disease

An unmitigated catastrophy
For the natives it was fight or flee
And they did resist heroically
But of course were defeated eventually

Caged today in reservations across
Their vast ancestral lands, their loss
As great as any has ever been
The few survivors are increasingly seen
Turning to alcohol and to drugs
While the victorious Christian thugs
Have long since shared their unlawful gains
From the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains
From Alaska down to Florida -
God bless America!

From New England to the Pacific West
The Christian settlers were doing their best
To live up to their cruel credo which read:
The only good Indian is one who is dead

*
And every step along the way
From then to our present day
Confirms that the true American dream
Is to concoct yet another scheme
To extend its evil influence
Its obvious goal is world dominance

In August nineteen fortyfive
Two hundred thousand were burnt alive
Or turned to radioactive dust
In an instant two thriving cities lost -
But Japan was already broken by then
And objections had come from the military men
Who had no strategic targets to destroy
But somebody wanted to test the new toy
So persuaded Truman to deploy
The innocently nicknamed Little Boy

Another incentive, the expanding Red Star
So sending the message to the USSR:
"We have the weapon and you now know it works
But where and when the next bomber lurks..."

And so it was on that shameful day
That the deadliest of all known birds of prey
Was spotted and named the Enola Gay
A toxic egg, believed to be grey
Was dropped and then it flew swiftly away...

Inexcusable to detonate this man-made sun
And a holocaust and war crime if ever there was one!
But incredibly, later the American
Joint victors imposed upon Japan
A pacifist constitution to this day -
If justice and reason had anything to say
It would have been done the other way!

*
And from there the ever helpful Uncle Sam
Moved on to Korea and then to Vietnam
Where massacres, Agent Orange and napalm
Destroyed so much and did nothing to calm
The people or solve the situation there
But of course America would later declare
That abysmal failure both a necessity
And a success for all humanity

But truth will out and it must be said
The Korean War caused one million dead
The total death toll for the Vietnam War
North and South, between three and four
Plus Laos and Cambodia up to two million more
So five to six million the final score...

Neutral Cambodia was for more than a year
Exposed to destruction and reduced to fear
Through massive bombings carried out secretly
In Operation Menu, conceived primarily
By Nixon, Kissinger and Haig to ease
The retreat, "peace with honour" - excuse us all please!

Nixon to Kissinger: "We must lay waste
Enemy bases and supply routes with all haste
To make withdrawal safer, I have said it before
So go ahead and do it, and I want to hear no more
Send everything that flies on anything that moves!"
The chilling conversation indisputably proves
These men are mass murdering war criminals
The evidence is clear and the story it tells
Is not nasty rumours but recorded on tape
Yet again the guilty managed to escape
Being brought to justice for their dreadful crime -
Good people despair for it happens all the time!

*
During the twentieth century
Just doing what comes naturally
The US intervened militarily
Usually unilaterally
Fiftyfive times, unbelievably
In Latin America alone -
The US is undeniably prone
To asking for trouble by casting the first stone
And can then, hallelujah, legitimately moan
And hit back hard in order to "defend"
Itself and its allies to the bitter end

*
Time to refresh your geography
Peruse the world map briefly with me:
How many overseas US bases do you see?
The last count revealed SEVEN HUNDRED and THREE!
A staggering figure, all ostensibly
To police the world and so keep us all free
But in truth in search of the next enemy
And when Communism failed it became Islam -
Now shut up and listen for a moment Uncle Sam
For that was your most colossal mistake
If you do not retreat it will certainly break
The US empire, for like those before
Greatness is NOT built on arrogance and war
There is nothing new under the sun
But go right ahead - bring it on!

*

Re-armed by the West when his eight year war
With Iran fizzled out, Saddam wanted more
So invaded and occupied neighbouring Kuwait
As he took the time to correctly state
It used to be the nineteenth province of Iraq
So argued it was legitimate to take back
But the UN disagreed and authorised the use
Of force in the event that Saddam should refuse
To back down and withdraw, and we all know the rest:
Muslim Arabs and the Christian West
Led by America joined forces to expel
The Iraqis in a good imitation of hell:
Alarmingly, Geiger readings are today
A thousand times higher than before the USA
(Just years before the new millenium!)
With the liberal use of depleted uranium
Made sure that for generations to come
Genetic abnormalities will affect some
Of the millions of people regionally
And, as usual behaving abysmally
Tens of thousands of Saddam's fleeing ranks
Were ripped to pieces or roasted in their tanks -
Another clear case of barbarity
By the soldiers of Christianity

*

Serial killers line up to salute
That born-again Christian prostitute
The commander-in-chief is on parade
Directing his very own Crusade

For out of the blue a heaven-sent excuse
Ignited the eagerly waiting fuse
Presenting the neo-Cons with the strong
Imperative for which they had so long
Openly wished and secretly prayed
So most Americans could be swayed
To support Bush and Co, and so the first raid
Soon followed for the leaders were sorely afraid
That further attacks might yet be made
Retribution just could not be delayed -

And the excuse? Those strange attacks
On America, the official report lacks
Any credibility and more than just smacks
Of a cover-up, the expert evidence now stacks
Up higher than the buildings that were pulled down
When false flag terrorism flew into town!

But patriots and other fools, eager to believe
Whatever they are told, are easy to deceive...
Look at the facts and like me you will say
Those tragic events were Made in the USA

*

No credible evidence was produced
So the Taliban, quite correctly, refused
To hand anyone over to the US
Leaving the world for a while to guess
But later they did offer and suggest
Maybe as a clever sincerity test
That those named as wanted could be tried
In a third country if Sharia [Islamic law] was applied -
And the rest was silence, for year after year
America proves it is not sincere

The mass murderer later revealed
That God spoke to him and had appealed
To the all-American president
That US armed forces should be sent
To remove the Islamist Taliban
In a sovereign land called Afghanistan:
"George, get rid of those terrorists
For the good of mankind, I do insist"

And of course he complied for how could he say no
To almighty God, and the rodeo show
With the plans miraculously ready to go
Continued where the Soviet Union left off
Having wisely decided that enough is enough
In a country never yet controlled
By any outsiders, so home they rolled

Now enter America with high-tech toys
Controlled by frightened trigger-happy boys
Anything that moves it destroys
From the relative safety of fighter jets
Blowing men and women and children to bits

And the new Crusaders were not slow
To prove they are the lowest of the low
For soon a new slave trade started to grow
Innocent people grabbed as they go
About their own business, later to show
Up first in Bagram, then Guantanamo
Because the US had decided to throw
Money at the problem, hoping to blow
The Taliban's lengthening recruitment row

*

And God spoke again with George Double U
And told him he must now set out to do
What the father had timidly failed to achieve
No problem for the son, for if you truly believe
You possess enough love and affinity
For that mystical Holy Trinity
And willingly do as you are told
Grateful that YOU were chosen, and behold
Soon after a holocaust began to unfold
On innocent Iraqis while the UN screamed: "NO!"
But Satan and Co were determined to go
For the US had decided years before
That the oil must be won through a quick little war
And so the coalition moved in to kill -
Another ally now dispensable!

White phosphorous provided the light for the shows
Smart weapons delivered the fatal blows
Plus depleted uranium, for anything goes
If it demonstrates might and adds to the woes
Of the conquered people, to hell with their loss
If it proves the white Christian is the boss

Rapes and massacres, invariably denied
Committed by marines, never properly tried
And a second invasion, private security
Personnel operating with immunity
So much for the promised sovereign Iraq -
It is time for Iraqis to take their country back!

The golden dome in Samarra blown up
By who-do-you-think in an effort to stop
Iraq's different factions from merging and so
Focus all energies on the common foe

Snipers picking off academics one by one
Other than helping Iraq, what have they done?
Doctors and teachers found headless in the sand
Those who remain try to flee their own land -
Is it really so hard to understand
That what is happening in Iraq today
Is a brutal attempt, in a devious way
To destroy the country in primitive rage
And revenge because it refused to engage
Fully with the plot, did not lie down
And surrender when the cowboys rode into town -
So setting it back a generation at least
While the foreign oil men continue their feast
Is the best they can hope for, the desperate plan
And as ever the predictable American
Reaction to their failures is to blame Iran!

But the underlying reason for the overall scheme
Was probably assisting the Zionist dream
Of Greater Israel, Euphrates to the Nile
And in central Baghdad in true Crusader style
A billion dollar fortress is almost complete
To protect against those they did defeat
But it will, inshallah, some better brighter day
When the Christian vultures have been driven away
Become the headquarters of al-Sadr and his men
The Mahdi Army, Islam will rule again
And five times a day will be heard, you want to bet
The call to prayer from an added minaret!

Some sources claim one million dead
Several million we know have fled
Abroad or survive as internally displaced
In their own country, and the hardships faced
By those suffering millions must be felt somehow -
Shout: "We are all Palestinians now!"

*

The Soviet Union is a tragic tale
Of social engineering on such a massive scale
That most of us will simply fail
To grasp the magnitude of this open-air jail

It is difficult to choose a place to begin
The atrocities of comrades Lenin and Stalin
Are so many and enormous and went on for so long
Encompassing every conceivable wrong
With such mad fervour that your heart nearly stops
Your confidence in man certainly drops...

The revolution itself, according to archives
Claimed around thirteen million lives
From West to East and in every part
Ominously, that was just the start

Their obsession with total central control
Left no room for any individual role
As no brain was needed to understand
The rigid vertical top-down command
Every mind and thought was a threat to the state
So legitimate targets to infiltrate
Investigate, intimidate, eliminate

*

To stamp out religion once and for all
They came up with a plan which must appall
Every right-thinking person, atheist or not
And (are you sitting down?) this was the plot:
Widespread famines were created at will
By destroying and confiscating harvests until
The people throughout the countryside
Were starving and millions of them died

Having already eaten your only horse or cow
Your cat and dog and your own boots - what now?
Grass and leaves and stripping trees of their bark
And if anyone thinks those choices are stark
Any other human found still alive
Could be killed and eaten so you would survive
If only for another day or maybe two
Who knows, God willing, you might yet pull through...

While those back in Moscow at Red Terror HQ
Were busy planning what next to do:
"People spending their last energy to find
Something, anything, to eat will not mind
If we demonstrate our absolute might
By blowing up every church in sight
Anyone still strong enough to protest
Just shoot them and nature will do the rest
But we hope and expect and in truth we doubt
To see any raised fingers or hear a shout -
Those are the orders, now carry them out!"

All in the sick hope that control would never slip
From their convulsive blood-soaked iron grip

*

For any deviation from the path you were meant
To follow they declared you a dissident
And over the decades millions were sent
To dreadful labour camps, and the intent was clear:
They would not return - most lasted just a year

Under the half-hearted arctic midnight sun
There was no-one to turn to and nowhere to run
Winters were terrible and without end
In sixty below zero the guards would send
Them out in the dark as any other day
In a snowstorm to work, many lost their way
Others lost their minds and went insane
And disappeared, not to be seen again
Now entombed like mammoths in the frozen ground -
Will their places of peace ever be found?

With inadequate shelter, food and clothes
And brutal workdays, most of those
Living and vibrant men and women froze
To death where they stood or in their sleep
As the merciless cold would slowly creep
Through tissue and bone until so deep
They were barely breathing sculptures of ice
Cut from life - the ultimate price
Though guilty of no major crime or vice
To escape the socialist paradise...

*

Mass deportations were used to quell
Any early signs that someone might rebel
Or even if nothing was known or could be proved
Whole ethnic peoples were forcibly moved
Uprooted from their land and split into groups
Freighted like animals and guarded by troops
Resettled in remote places far apart
To minimise the ever-present risk they might start
Serious activities against the state -
So divide and rule before it is too late

The Chechens in the Caucasus were some of those
And the only civilised way to close
That chapter of continuing tragedy
Once and for all is to set them free
Give them the land that is rightfully theirs
But as anyone can see: nobody cares

The implosion of the empire came to Moscow
And Yeltsin outmanoeuvred Gorbachow
He dissolved the Soviet Union late December ninetyone
And soon most republics broke away and were gone -
This was the moment they had waited for
So the Chechens launched an insurgency war
To drive out the Soviets, now Russians, stationed there
The Kremlin's response was swift and did not spare
Anyone for all Chechens were enemies now
The rebellion must be broken no matter how
So insurgents and civilians were brutally crushed
In a brief total war, and though much can be hushed
Out there in the open for the whole world to see
The ghastly bombardment of Grozny city
Was another monstrous crime against humanity

Decent people everywhere but in Europe most of all
Should now stand up together and loudly call
For a vote whether all those from Chechnya
Want full independence from Russia -
Chechen men and women, we are with you still
We have not forgotten you and never will!
Brothers and Sisters, wherever you now roam
Europe's Palestinians, you will come home!

*

Now, you may ask - who am I to criticise
After all, our leaders are honourable and wise
And tirelessly do their best for those they lead
So we should respect and admire them, indeed
Is that not what everybody learns in school?
Do not be such a bloody fool!
You are just their disposable tool
POWER IS OPIUM FOR THOSE WHO RULE!

*

The emblems of the Soviet state
Hammer and Sickle - how appropriate:
To beat your head into party shape!
To cut off your legs to prevent escape!

*

For seventy years the colour was red
Just like all the blood being shed
Decades of madness and terror and dread
How many tens of millions dead?
If you are human shake your head
Shudder and numb with disbelief
Belatedly think of the pain and grief
Of every one who perished there -
The empty eyes of Communism stare
Without a tear and void of care
Unable and unwilling to share
Mere human reactions like despair

Heartlessness personified
Ten commandments nullified
All religion crucified
Atheism deified
Darwinism glorified
Love and goodness horrified
Normality so modified
Emotions so petrified
The soul of Russia nearly died...

*

For Red China read Soviet Union Mark Two
More worst nightmares sadly coming true
For China under chairman Mao Zedong
Was the same ideology gone horribly wrong
The same psychopathic tyranny
By the same all-powerful single party
More central control carried to extremes
More enforced hopelessly unworkable schemes
More sick and twisted fantasies instead of healthy dreams

China and the Soviet Union are twins
Everybody loses, nobody wins
Probably for both the inevitable result
Of a truly deranged personality cult

The Great Leap Forward was at best running in place
Or a giant step backwards into empty space -
The Cultural Revolution was years of insane
Attempts to obliterate the past and start again
Programming everyone to behave like drones
A taste of a future nation of pure clones

All possible versions of madness were tried
And estimates of those millions that died
Range from fortyfive to seventytwo
But life is cheap so we can safely add a few
All for the glory of Charles Darwin and Karl Marx
In a futile attempt to eradicate the sparks
That exist in all of humanity:
The pursuit of individuality
The longing for spirituality

What the Soviet Union and Red China do prove
Is that not all fanatics are religious - so remove
That misleading and erroneous expression from your lists
For those communist fanatics were atheists!

Their sick ideology, enforced without shame
Was substitute religion regardless of the name

*

The Muslim Uyghurs in China's North-West
Are Turkic people, different from the rest
They call that region East Turkestan
Though brutally repressed, their determined plan
Is independence, leave them free to pursue
It if they really want to - and we know they do!

*

And from the roof of the world, the message we get
Can be summarised in two simple words: FREE TIBET!

*

Adolf Hitler was elected in nineteen thirtythree
And historians now generally do agree
That the fire which destroyed the parliament
Soon after was a carefully planned event
By the Nazis themselves in an effort to blame
The communists - some things stay the same
The most evil cannot resist the game
Of false flag terrorism by any other name -
Remaining skeptics, to put you in the frame
Fast-forward now for it is still being done:
The World Trade Center and the Pentagon
Eleventh of September two thousand and one!

And the Nazis targeted not only the Jews
Any group deemed to be a threat or of no use
To their project of crafting a superior man
According to a meticulous master plan
Was included with the Jews on their death-lists
Gypsies, homosexuals, communists
The mentally retarded and the mentally ill
The weak and abnormal should be weeded out until
The race was pure for that was nature's will
The slogan "the survival of the fittest" which is still
Heard was used by the Nazis with great skill -
Social Darwinism was their license to kill

*

And the British-American bombing raid
When the centre of Dresden was completely laid
Waste, consider the interesting fact
The industrial quarters were left intact
Germany was finished at any rate
And did a few weeks later capitulate
So there was no strategic need to go ahead
With the firestorm which left forty thousand dead -
A war crime can never be justified
But that is no comfort to all those who were fried

*

And, for the record, World War One
When the surveys were completed and the counting done
No matter on whom the war could be blamed
Twenty million dead, twenty million maimed
Only half of those wore a uniform
For total war had taken Europe by storm
The major Christian nations were involved
And when it was over, nothing was resolved -

So just twenty years later, World War Two
Proved what it had become possible to do
If the forces of evil were out of control
And death and destruction the only goal
A total of seventy million died
The majority civilians who were denied
Their fundamental right to live
Surely a crime we should never forgive -
When the madness subsided and a shaky peace came
Neither Europe nor the world would ever be the same

*

Saddam grabbed power in nineteen seventynine
And anyone hoping it would work out fine
Was rudely awakened, for he could not wait
And from nineteen eighty to eightyeight
Supported and armed by the Christian West
He tried everything and did his best
To defeat the Islamic Republic of Iran
Which seemed prepared to send its last man
In all between half and one million deaths
One hundred thousand Iranian last breaths
Inhaled chemicals sold to Saddam
By Western companies which knew they would do harm

*

The Aboriginees in Australia
Like the Indians of North America
Pursued by white land-robbers coast to coast
Hunted all the way to extinction almost -
Another sophisticated culture subdued
By Christian barbarians who found it crude

*

Whether ethnic cleansing or attempted genocide
What is not in dispute is the numbers that died
And how many were deported in nineteen fifteen
When someone decided no Armenian must be seen
In Turkey anymore - six hundred thousand dead
One and three quarter million displaced or fled

*

In a reasonable attempt to accommodate
Muslim aspirations for their own state
In nineteen fortyseven British India was split
Along the lines deemed best to fit
Everybody's wishes, and when it was done
The Muslims got two states for the price of one
But on both sides of the argument that price was high
And before the dust had settled and the blood was dry
At least half a million, probably more, would die
And around fifteen million would be refugees
For the great upheaval did also release
Long simmering resentment, competition, even hate
Between Hindus and Muslims, most did not hesitate
To get moving and that autumn saw busy days
The flow of humanity streaming both ways

*

From nineteen seventyfive to seventynine
Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge tried to redefine
Evil in action, and the final result
Of another deranged Marxist cult
Was not the promised Utopia but instead
One point seven million Cambodians dead...

*

The African slave trade, ten million souls
Desecrated to serve the commercial goals
Of European powers for four hundred years
Imagine the terror, the blood and the tears
Snatched from your family, village, continent
Shipped across the ocean, almost all were sent
To the colonies in the New World where they slaved
Doing what their white Christian masters craved -
The injustice and arrogance words fail to express
But social Darwinism would no doubt bless!

*

Already among the poorest of the poor
Ethiopia tragically had to endure
Mengistu Haile Mariam's Red Terror rule
More mad Marxists and typically cruel
Their dark legacy from the seventies survives
The nation lost one and a half million lives
During the course of the civil war
And in man-made famines about two million more

*

The ongoing tragedy in Sudan's Darfur
Is not in essence about rich versus poor
And not about religion, ethnicity or race
Or who should or should not live in any given place
Or about external borders, not even about oil!
No, the problem of that parched and arid soil
Is a desperate lack of water without which nothing thrives -
Could we not send it out there in order to save lives?

*

And where was the world in nineteen ninetyfour
When officially eight hundred thousand, maybe more
Were shot or hacked or burnt to death in Rwanda's civil war
Within the span of around one hundred days
Under the indecisive United Nations gaze -
Its incapacity to act never fails to amaze...

About two million fled to neighbouring states
And such an influx inevitably creates
New problems, and so the Congo became
The next holocaust, where to kill and maim
Seems everybody's right and the natural way
To express yourself, the statistics say
That five and a half million have died so far
And millions more displaced, yet there are
No serious international efforts to bring
An end to all this suffering...

*

Srebrenica, Bosnia, July ninetyfive
Eight thousand Muslims last known to be alive
In a safe haven guarded by United Nations men
Were seized and led away, not to be seen again
Until years later unearthed in mass graves -
Another chilling case of how man still behaves...

And the Dutch UN soldiers, it is hard to believe
Were honoured for their efforts and later did receive
A medal each - for what we want to know!
Service to humanity? You know where you can go!
Muslims should no longer trust the UN or EU
Oh-so-civilised Christian Europe - SHAME ON YOU!

*

And so inevitably we must turn
To the holocaust that continues to burn
The screaming-to-heaven ultimate sign
Of horrendous injustice: PALESTINE
Where over time every known form
Of grotesque barbarity has become the norm
Tolerated, accepted, encouraged, blest
By the leaders of the Christian West

The atrocities perpetrated here
Day in day out, year after year
For six decades now, is adequate proof
That the Christian West is not only aloof
But completely indifferent to the suffering
The creation of Israel was certain to bring
On the local population which has every right
To return where it once lived - and the fight
Will continue no matter what it entails
Until the day when justice prevails

Not one bit of progress achieved so far
Conclusive proof that in truth there are
No forces for good in action there
On the contrary, if we dare
To say that most of what Israel
Does is quite simply illegal
We are monitored, black-listed, screened, profiled
And, if we continue, ridiculed and reviled
By politicians in the Christian West
Recruited by Zionism, and the rest
Stand idly by afraid to speak
What they know to be right, for they may seek
Re-election soon, or some later day
Run for higher office, so watch what they say

But progress there will have to be
And surely we can all agree
That justice is the only key
To unlock this terrible tragedy
And finally end the misery -
Without it nothing can be done
The sixty-year holocaust will smoulder on
And as any astute observer can tell
It has the full potential
To annihilate not only Israel
But most of the rest of our world as well...

Feeling safe behind their hideous wall
And using any excuse to stall
Zionists brag as they drag their heels
While bleeding brutalised Palestine reels
From another blockade or incursion or attack -
If only we could turn the clock sixty years back!

The world MUST solve this now with all haste
Not one more minute should go to waste
For disaster is knocking on our door -
What on earth are we waiting for?
The reasons given are a sham and a scam
It is wrong and unfair to blame Islam
But it is all part of the game of cheat
Played so well by the masters of deceit

As we know the world did not hesitate
To drive Saddam's army out of Kuwait
But forty years after the Six Day War
Israel is building like never before

A question please, unanswered still:
If the use of force was permissible
To end one occupation declared illegal
Why not use it against Israel?
In a civilised world there would be no need
To ask that question at all, indeed
All Zionist settlers would long ago have been
Served notice to leave, and anyone seen
After the deadline on Palestinian land
Forcibly removed by a big and firm hand

*

The above is only a selection from
The many known cases, we left out some
Which we might have included (and if so inclined
There are plenty more for you to find
In the library or on the Internet
If you see something interesting, please do let
Us know about it) but you get the point
That history is distorted through the joint
Efforts of small but influential groups
That control the money, the power, the troops
Discreetly of course, behind the scene
And dictate where and when to intervene...

Reduced to a simple numbers game
The six million figure that Zionists claim
Was achieved by Hitler looks rather tame
Compared with some of those we did name
And examined above, so why bombard
Us daily with your ultimate trump card?
When it wears out it will be hard
To replace! And your callous disregard
For the other holocausts only show
What many of us already know
But carry on and resentment will grow
And spread over time to those who are slow
To connect the dots of international affairs
Preoccupied with everyday cares
Less concerned with yours than theirs
But manipulated by terrorist scares
And if one day all hell breaks loose
Too late to run or regret or refuse
They will also have to choose
Between Zionists and decent Jews

From all these horrors now pick your choice!
Yet the shrill persistent voice
Of Zionism clamouring for still more
Special treatment, reparations for the war
Concessions and memberships is all we hear
Day in day out, year after year

Terrible yes, but in the overall text
One holocaust looks much like the next
And I promise you that not in a thousand years
Will I cry any special tears
For only the victims of that atrocity
For that would be partial complicity
In the wall of silence that is being built
Around all the others to focus our guilt
On the Nazi persecution of the Jews -
More than sixty years later, still daily news!

With Jewish credibility here at stake
You holocaust merchants, give us a break
The one you are obsessed with is far from unique
Many of us suffer from holocaust fatigue
And no matter what you do or say
We support Jerusalem not Holocaust Day!
Understand it if you can
Man's inhumanity to man
Much of it authorised by the Vatican
No doubt spurred on by old Satan!
Animals surely behave much better than
Most of us - let us now spare a thought
For every single person caught
Innocently in the infernos caused
By the evil people who never paused
To reflect on the absolute sanctity
Of each life in all humanity
For every life lost is a human being gone -
But do all the other holocausts interest anyone?

And a final question for all of you:
IS THIS REALLY THE BEST WE CAN DO?

Cast your mind back as I have just done
To the second half of two-thousand-and-one:
The events that unfolded on eleven-nine -

(Sorry, I refuse to fall into line
And adopt the stupid American ways!
Nine-eleven is not what it says
It is back to front and the wrong way round!
But in my experience I have generally found
That is the American way of doing things -
Room for improvement! See what tomorrow brings!)

Are exceedingly interesting to analyse
And many are the questions which arise
For it soon becomes obvious that not all
Is what it seems - as you will recall
The official version is simple enough:
A group of Islamic militants took off
With four commercial airliners which they
Crashed into buildings, well one went astray
And dropped in a field on the way to somewhere
But three were successful and each made a square
Frontal impact on innocent USA
And not surprisingly since that day
America suspects all Muslims and anything
Islamic, and fights for the whole world to bring
Those evil men to justice and protect everyone
Against the threat of terrorism, and it will be done
In the name of freedom and democracy, no less
Those truly American values - and God bless
The world but most of all of course the US

*

Now, anyone who believes in the laws
Of physics and the effects they cause
As they manifest themselves on planet Earth
Can only express loud laughter and mirth
At the official conspiracy theory
Whereas it is clear not only to me
That what happened that day at the WTC
Was expertly planned and engineered
Exquisitely executed and brilliantly steered -
For a steel-structured tower has NEVER before
Collapsed due to impact or fire, what is more
All three collapsed at free-fall speed!
How very interesting indeed!
Look at the facts and I hope we are agreed
There cannot be even the slightest doubt
That controlled demolitions took them out!

And WTC-Seven suffered no impact
The fires were small so the structure intact -
Come on every patriot, add your name to the list:
Your president is an evil terrorist!

*

And where was NORAD on that fateful day?
Told to do nothing, witnesses say!
And where had VP Dick Cheney gone?
To a bunker somewhere to get the job done!

It is simply inconceivable
That four big planes could be invisible
To go walkabout for hours as they pleased
Unless NORAD had deliberately ceased
To monitor them or chosen not to act -
Standard procedure is a well-known fact:
Scramble, intercept, challenge, if no reply
Blow the intruder out of the sky

So what went wrong was made to do so
And someone involved has got to know
Exactly what went on and what was the plan:
Vice-President Cheney is your man!

*

And what really happened at the Pentagon?
The damage we saw could not have been done
By a large commercial aircraft in a direct hit -
But a single cruise missile would perfectly fit!

*

Were any bodies from the four planes ever found
In the building rubble or maybe on the ground
And given to their loved ones for burial?
If not, it would be highly unusual!
If not, where could they possibly be?
My guess is: at the bottom of the sea
Along with the carefully scuttled remains
Of all the four hijacked planes!

*

Normally cleaning up would only start
After all investigation teams had done their part
To find out exactly what happened and why
Here it is obvious they did not even try
In a truly professional manner to get
To the bottom of it all so they could let
America and the world know what took place
Instead it is a case of: watch this space!

If Bush & Co had seriously meant
To find out then a fully independent
Public inquiry would have been set up
With unlimited funds and orders not to stop
Until we all knew the last detail
And the perpetrators brought to justice and jail -
Again it tellingly goes to show
That those in power do not want us to know!

What did so many researchers feel
When almost all the structural steel
Was spirited out of New York town
And shipped to China to be melted down!

Did you know that removing any evidence
From disaster sites is a Federal offence?
But that is precisely what was done
At the Trade Center and the Pentagon!
Federal agencies told to break the law!
Who gave the orders and who oversaw
What actually happened on those two sites?
An intriguing subject which alone ignites
Existing questions as well as many new -
The ones which have been answered are very few!

*

On the surface it may look plausible but start
To scratch a bit and it all comes apart
The closer you look the less it makes sense
The masters of security and intelligence
Misguiding the nation leading up to that day
Abused in the most abominable way
Doing the opposite of what they say!
Their duty to protect American lives
Not to kill them so the pet project thrives
Blaming others and hyping up the wrath
Helping neo-Cons and Zionists to clear the path
For re-engineering the greater Middle East
So oil-men and weapon-smiths can have a feast
And Israel expand and terrorise more -
Surely what that "catalysing event" was for!

This poem is not the proper place
To list and systematically trace
Known irregularities in that disgrace -
Also, my computer might run out of space!

Accept that those buildings were brought down
Artificially the day disaster came to town
And the official version tumbles, the clown
In the White House can do or say what he likes
But the mass-deception and sheer cruelty strikes
The death-blow to honesty and credibility
And not just for today but for eternity!
False-flag terror is alive and well
As Bush & Co prepares our Earth for hell...

*

Do not misunderstand me: I would love to believe
That Islamic militants managed to achieve
What America has been begging for so long
And revenge came suddenly with a strong
Carefully prepared and specially reserved
Perfectly delivered and richly deserved
Bloody nose right out of the blue
In the words of Osama: "Your goods returned to you!"
But sadly it was all too good to be true...

And so with sadness and reluctance
I accept the overwhelming evidence:
The tragedy that struck America that day
Was planned by Zion and Made in the USA!

The AXIS of EVIL

- major work about Islam and the West

Written 2005 - (514 lines)

*

DEDICATION:
To Palestinians everywhere but in particular those
who live in the territories illegally and brutally
occupied by Israel since the Six Day War in 1967.
May your struggle for justice soon be over!

*

INTRODUCTION:
This wide-ranging poem, at over 500 lines, is neither
a romantic nor a philosophical poem but a political one,
dealing with Islam and the West. It was completed in late
2005, shortly before Israeli PM Ariel Sharon suffered the
incapacitating stroke and Hamas won the Palestinian elections.

The following is a synopsis of the poem:
It starts in Iraq with a series of "sound-bite-as-if-embedded"
journalistic verses, quickly moves on to survey current
American political ideology, nuclear proliferation, the
attacks on America on 11 September 2001, then the main
theme -PALESTINE- is introduced and examined at length
and in a number of ways, after which the poem looks back
to the Nazi persecution of the Jews, then addresses
America and its subservience to the Zionist lobby in
complete contradiction of US national interests, a brief
look at the demise of the Soviet Union and corresponding
rise of America, questions why the rest of the world and
particularly the European Union accepts American
behaviour, suggests that oil could be used to tame
America, explains why the term anti-Semitic is used
incorrectly, suggests that Israel has forfeited its right to
exist, examines the current and possible future status of
Jerusalem, describes briefly a possible solution to end the
occupation, returns to America and Israel to show that
democracy in itself is no guarantee of civilised behaviour,
names the true AXIS of EVIL, guesses the results if Israel
continues its unilateralism, there is a quick but relevant
flashback to the Nuremberg Trials, then rounds off with
comparing rock-throwing Palestinian youths with the
September 11 hijackers, and the poem comes full circle
by ending where it started, in Iraq...

PS: As it is now increasingly obvious that the attacks on
America on 11 Sept 2001 were indeed an inside job, as hinted
at here, the sections of the poem giving Islamic militants
the credit for that should now be read with this in mind.

*

The news coming in from the Middle East
Is remarkable, to say the least:

The main US export being liberty
The Americans invade to set all Iraqis free
With a fireworks display the lesson starts
From wedding party to body parts…

Neo-Crusaders destroy Fallujah
To chants of: "Gloria Hallelujah!"
All together now for the final chorus
Silhouetted against burning phosphorous

Yanks and tanks and bubble-gum
Desecrate ancient Babylon
You can look back on a few hundred years
But recorded history started here
Has roughly a six thousand year span
And Mesopotamia is where it began

It sounds like a joke but is apparently true
And should soon be coming to a TV near you:
Saddam and Rumsfeld sipping tea!
Oh yes, watch the trial and you will see

Truth will out and did escape
The amusement arcades of Abu Ghraib
Weblogs and photos, truly perverse
Shock and awe, in reverse

Pick your choice: Iyad Allawi?
Abu Muzab Al-Zarkawi?
Maybe Jalal Talabani?
Ayatollah Al-Sistani!

Instead of dancing in the streets
Greeting the heroes with flowers and sweets
It is car bombs, beheadings and insurgency
Instead of normality, emergency

If you think about it and truth be told
It is heads in Washington which should roll!

Now you argue what could have been done
Better (stay home!) but, having begun
You insist you will stay to see the job through
Inshallah, this job will finish YOU!

From holy Najaf to Hindu Kush
The Coalition of the Killing, led by Bush
Yesterday Afghanistan
Tomorrow Syria? Iran?

*

We get brainwashed about militant Islam
What? I see no reason for alarm
Not a word about militant Christianity
Although it is there for all to see:

With a born-again Christian in the White House
Whose fiery sermons from the pulpit rouse
The folks of many nations to join his War on Terror
What a tragic, maybe fatal, fundamental(ist) error…
The way you fight it, that "war" cannot be won
Will you ever understand that in Washington?

The neo-Con credo, made in the USA
Is: "Don't do as we do, just do as we say
Or we label you a terrorist and blow you away!"
My God, the founding fathers would be horrified
That is not the ideals for which they lived and died

All you say about democracy may sound serene
But look at the reality and the same words turn obscene
America, no-one believes you anymore
The lies you tell to justify war
The massive deception on a scale unlike any
Since the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany
"The broad mass of a nation is more likely to fall
Victim to big lies than to small"
(Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, nineteen-twentyfive)
You see? That spirit is still alive!
And so the greatest show on earth plays on, oh yes:
The whole world must agree with you, no more, no less!

*

The Islamic bomb is nothing new
Matching those of Christian, Hindu and Jew
Muslim Pakistan led the way
Why are you surprised that today
Iran appears to want them too?
They need some as a defence against you!
One look at the map will tell you why:
Iran cannot be moved, so continues to lie
Between Iraq and Afghanistan
Both now swallowed up by the Great Satan

*

The Islamic world detests the West
And not without reason, you have done your best
To make sure this would happen, year after year
Pushing your luck to bring us all here
Where we are today and it is not a pretty sight
Blind to the fact that might is not right
You showed them how evil deeds are done
And on September eleven two thousand and one
The time had come to even the score
What happened that day had been done before
But now it was your turn to suffer and die
So the boomerang flew across the sky
Returned to sender and with two mighty blows
The towering arrogance was laid low
Burnt to cinders, reduced to dust -
One exception to the rule that this world is unjust

May I ask why so many stayed away
From work on that particular day?
Exceedingly interesting, do you not think?
Had all those really had a bit too much to drink
The night before? Or had they been warned?
And therefore "overslept" when doomsday dawned?

Surveying the scenes of devastation and loss:
"Why? Why here? Why now? Why us?
Could anyone really hate us that much?"
You fools! Are you totally out of touch
With reality? Why the surprise
And indignation? Open your eyes!
And rudely awoken, your American dream
Turned to nightmare as the silent scream
Of rage that rose from the Muslim world
In a flash the banner of Islam unfurled

A small price to pay for your reckless past
And unless YOU change it will not be the last…

In my opinion and I will not repent
As an act of defiance, it was magnificent!

*

The heart of the problem we can define
By one single word - PALESTINE
That says it all, does it not?
What happened to justice, you hypocritical lot?
The West caused that problem and it will not go away
So must be resolved without delay
But after decades of inaction it is still right there
A beacon for Muslims everywhere

Some of their methods may not be in good taste
Like strapping explosives round your waist
And blowing yourself up on a crowded bus
But appalling as that may seem to most of us
"Taste" is a luxury and I ask you:
They have nothing so what else can they do?

Now this may disappoint you but I will not condemn
The suicide bombers until Jerusalem
And the rest of the occupied territories are
Liberated from the tyranny of the Star
Of David. Would that mean peace on Earth?
Of course not but, not only well worth
The effort, it simply has to be done
And standing in the way? Tel Aviv and Washington...

The Road Map? Is a load of crap!
Just one more Zionist booby trap
For buying time and wasting time
And every day another crime
Prepared and primed to detonate
At some specific time and date
When we are not expecting it
Decided by Sharon to fit
Into his secret master plan
For grabbing more Palestinian land
Four hundred thousand now settled there
Illegally and if we dare
To speak out loud they label us
Anti-Semitic and make a fuss

Now the butcher of Sabra and Shatila
Did indeed recently abandon Gaza
But do not believe his latest prank
He is laughing all the way to the West Bank
To create still more facts on the ground
I did try but sadly never found
Anything nice to say about him -
Is he really a descendant of Ibrahim?

Yasser Arafat is dead and what a travesty
Of justice that he was not allowed to see
His life's work completed. Did you watch his funeral?
Tragedy, glory, love - so moving and beautiful!
Chaos, anger, pride and hope - it really had it all!
Most memorable television since the fall of the Berlin Wall

For all his faults it is clear the obstacle
To peace was never Arafat but Israel
And the West in general but we all know that -
Rest in peace and God bless you Arafat

Here one vital point should not be missed:
My freedom fighter may be your terrorist

*

The West must explain to the world of Islam
Exactly why it was that Iraq under Saddam
Had to comply to the letter with the law
When Israel is allowed forever to ignore
Trample underfoot, ridicule and spit
On all resolutions and judgments against it

Israel gets away with murder every day
But instead of condemnation the world dares only say
In a cautious little voice, meek and faint
That both sides really ought to exercise restraint
That all forms of violence against Israel must stop
Or the promise of statehood for Palestine might drop
Off the agenda, and that sick old preference:
Israel has the right to self-defence

With methods that can only be described as vile
If you give them an inch they will grab a square mile
In law the world should long ago have thrown
Them out but the Devil looks after his own
And instead of heavy fines you give them massive aid
Instead of tough sanctions you continue to trade
Weapons and other imports-exports of all sorts
Diplomatic relations, culture and sports
And wait for this, the worst is yet to come:
Folly of all follies, you helped them to the bomb…

The West has linked its values, policies and views
Inextricably to those of a few million Jews
The West is Israel, Israel is the West
That is the reality observed by the rest
Of this world in which all of us live
And clearly something somewhere has to give
That is unlikely to be the arrogant West
Which will no doubt continue its incessant quest
For making all men and women join in their song
Which goes: "WE are right so THEY must be wrong"
Really? How can you be sure? Do you know what I say?
The West must give: THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

And if you will not change but continue to split
Up everybody else's world as you alone see fit
By imposing your perverse contemporary norms
Replacing one corrupt and bankrupt form
Of government with another, through illegal wars
(And YOU always preach the rule of law!)
You should neither be surprised nor should you complain
If in due course the revenge for the inflicted pain
Visits your cities, one by one
And not only New York, Madrid, London
Watch out Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Rome:
With Israel a friend abroad, you breed enemies at home!

*

One question to the world please: who will compensate
Palestinian victims of the Jewish state?
For simply by accepting the state of Israel
In its fortyeight borders they have said farewell
To more than three quarters of their sacred land
And no-one should expect, even less demand
That they surrender more for they have nothing left to give
Like all other peoples they need space to breathe and live

But there they are, more than fifty years on
And still nothing useful has been done
Some still clutching keys to homes they fled
In fortyeight, hoping to return soon, but instead
In refugee camps they are waiting in vain
For the day they will be able to go home again
Their minds growing feeble, their hands now growing cold
Allah is counting the lies they were told

Without justice for Palestine there simply WILL NOT
Be peace in that region, if you have not got
That message by now you must be deaf and dumb!
Ignore it and regret it for a long time to come
For no peace there will mean no peace anywhere
NOR SHOULD THERE BE! Still you just stare
At the biggest political problem of them all
Kicking it around like an unwanted ball
Hoping it will just disappear some day
But it will not, however long you pray
And failure to solve it will bring lasting shame
On mankind, for no-one else will be to blame

*

The world still suffers from a strange collective guilt
And shudders when reminded of the Jewish blood spilt
By the Nazis, therefore the strategy:
Remind the world of it frequently
And it might result in some new memorial
Or new legislation outlawing denial
Or further reinforce that ridiculous myth
That the Jews are a threatened species with
No friends anywhere, and when all seems lost
Just whisper those two magic words: "The Holocaust!"
And the world shuts up, pays up and bows down
Like some stupidly smiling mechanical clown
In the circus of business, law and politics
The world is their stage, and for their next tricks…?
Cynically manipulating their puppets on strings
They seem, at different times, to have both horns and wings!

Heads they always win, tails they never lose
And all because of what Hitler did to the Jews!
Small wonder they believe they can now do what they want
But that was never part of the Covenant!

I fear I shall be crucified for my views
But the world must learn to say NO to the Jews
What is so special about them anyway?
Nothing as far as I can see, no matter what they say
The Chosen People? By whom? And for what?
The Almighty would surely disown that lot!
On two occasions already He has done
Just that, is it futile to speculate on
What might happen now if it really came to blows?
Third time lucky? God only knows…

To most this may well sound like heresy
But remember there is an ancient prophecy
Known as: The Exile Under Ishmael
When will it happen, if at all? Time will tell…

*

Now listen Great Satan America -
We have all heard your idiotic mantra:
"Like any other nation we will defend
Our strategic interests worldwide, until the end"
And your strategic interest in Israel?
There is not any, non-existent, zero, nil!
Agreed? Thank you, glad we got that straight!
So why your unconditional support for that state?

Tiny Israel has nothing worth having but behold
The huge deserts next to it are seas of black gold
Shimmering in the harsh light under a sky blue dome
For the land of opportunists, your spiritual home!
THIS is where your self-interest begins and ends
And the Arab nations could yet become your friends
But that is up to you and not to them:
Reverse the construction of the new Jerusalem
Now in progress illegally on land occupied
Illegally for decades. If you tried
To change places with those people for a moment you would know
What it feels like but instead you let the cancer grow
With your money and your weapons, always turning a blind eye
When with your connivance and your blessing more refugees die
Stateless and homeless in their own land
Impossible for them, and for me, to understand
But they are only Arab Muslims, so who cares?
I tell you: anybody with a heart and soul despairs…

By all means be friendly towards Israel
But you always defend the indefensible
The world is waiting to hear the true voice
Of America but you do not have the choice
For a tiny minority twists and distorts
Not all but most of your actions and thoughts
And that is not democracy. Ha! We got you now!
The gospel that you preach never did ring true somehow
New World Order prophets, go back the way you came
You were never wise enough to spread freedom's flame
If you must play with fire you are likely to get burnt
That is one lesson America still has not learnt
The world should stand well back now and watch this space:
May that which you ignited blow up in your own face!
America the beautiful, disfigured by so few
Corrective surgery is long overdue…

Do your citizens really know the true cost
Of Israel to them? They should and they must!
A profit and loss account deep in the red
Written with the blood of the maimed and dead
Of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan
And also, small justice, a few Americans

More little steps for megalo-man
Can do, we will fix it, no job too big or small
For the self-ordained trigger-happy sheriff of us all
His brand of freedom gets the real hard sell
Making giant leaps on the sure road to hell
Or is he on the road to Damascus now
Uttering some unrepeatable vow
To his Zionist masters who must give the nod
Before he can take any orders from God…

*

Nowhere to be seen, from the West to the East
The international community, that mythical beast
Should rear its fearsome head now but it has gone to ground
May already be extinct or toothless, if ever found

Our world has been unbalanced since the recent demise
Of the Soviet empire and, now on the rise
In the absence of a counterweight, America redefines
The art of making hay while the sun shines

Savages in pinstripes and combat boots
Are re-engineering the world to suit
Themselves and to carry off the loot
Please will someone stop those pathological brutes!

American culture. Excuse me - is there one?
Scientists at work but the masses chasing fun-fun-fun
Hollywood sex and violence, moronic rock-and-roll:
Brilliant technology but what a crippled soul…

How on earth can three hundred million people do
So much damage to our planet? Where is the voice of the EU?
Stop babbling amongst yourselves, sing all from one sheet
Four-hundred-and-fifty million are well able to meet
Any challenge anywhere but ONLY IF YOU WANT
And how will history judge you if you don't?

America, all powerful! Or just a house of cards?
What should the world do when one nation disregards
All standards of behaviour, holds itself above the law
And believes it is the greatest that mankind ever saw?
A trial of strength we can ill afford
But remember the old saying: "If you live by the sword…"

Oil as a power tool? Now that is interesting!
It could probably be utilised intelligently to bring
The monster to its senses or if need be to its knees
To plead for its life-blood: "I beg you please!
Do not leave me like this! I might thirst to death!
I promise to be really good until my last breath!"
And if you do not behave we will turn off the taps
And watch with Arab patience until you collapse
How long would it take before you slowed to a crawl?
That's difficult to say but when you had exhausted all
Your emergency stockpiles and hoarded energy stores
Joy to the world for that would stop you starting wars!

*

As for anti-Semitic, it is a misleading term
As any decent dictionary will confirm
All Arabs are Semitic peoples too, now you know!
If we mean anti-Jewish, then we should say so

But I do not hate the Jews, honestly I don't
They made me dislike them and if they won't
Behave in a way that approaches civilised
They must expect to get more than criticised

The world chose in its wisdom (?) in nineteen-fortyeight
To partition Palestine in order to create
A homeland for the Jews who had more than fifty years
To prove to us all that it was a good idea
As far as I can see, and you may disagree
On balance they have failed and done so miserably
For reasons that would make a long unpleasant list
Israel has forfeited its right to exist

Look around and listen and it is clear that some
Of us have had enough, maybe the time has come
To dissolve the state of Israel, resurrect Palestine
And give one person one vote? That would be fine
By me and if the Jews say: "Not now - but soon!"
They can all go to America, or to the dark side of the Moon

*

There is a romantic emotional bond
In the Christian world and far beyond
With Jerusalem, the Holy, Al-Quds
For most of us easily understood

But an irrational notion still pervades
So many centuries after the Crusades
That somehow Jerusalem is under threat
From the Muslims who would like to get
It back, so is therefore now best left
In the custody of those who obtained it by theft
Not so! Outrageous the way they behave!
They have no right to encircle and enslave
Jerusalem to keep forever as their own
All illegal barriers must come down
Right now, for behind those, and paid for by the West
Any prospects for peace are being laid to rest
In Maale Adumim as the Zionists implement
Their final solution for Palestine, intent
On completing it before the world wakes up
To demand and if necessary force them to stop

Jerusalem belongs to all of mankind
And it must be possible for us to find
A solution acceptable to all
For the Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Wailing Wall
And that glorious beautiful Dome of the Rock
With nobody having the right to lock
Others out as they see fit -
Well, world, are we up to it?

As everybody knows: East Jerusalem
Is Arab and MUST be given back to them
So future pilgrims will see the Dome shine
Above the capital of Palestine

*

The parties are urged to sit down once more
To somehow agree on what divided them before
But in truth there is nothing to negotiate
Except by how much to compensate
Israel's long-suffering captives. The rest
Is clear and will become the ultimate test
Of the world's resolve to uphold its own laws
By insisting and enforcing that Israel withdraws
Every soldier and settler and returns ALL the land
Seized in sixtyseven, to the last grain of sand…
Then, and only then, might the Arabs believe
That the world is even-handed after having it deceive
Them time and time again in the recent past
And remember: ONLY A JUST PEACE WOULD LAST!

*

America stands for freedom and democracy
Ha! What nauseating hypocrisy!
Forever masquerading as that which you are not
Assuming you once had one, you have lost the plot

If you truly believed in democracy
You would NOT abuse your veto in the UN SC

And if it were about freedom you would set your sights
On enormous China where human rights
Were crushed under tanks in Tianaman Square
(Admit it you liars, you do not care)
Now that would be a proper virility test
For the macho cowboys of the wild West

And yet, in itself democracy
Is not a guarantee of decency
You want proof? Look (again!) at Israel
Most of its actions are illegal
Barbaric, deceitful, the list goes on
This world would be a better place without Sharon!
International law is there to flout
State terrorism without doubt
Examine the facts and, like me, you will call
Israel the roguest state of all

America follows close behind
Brothers in arms, two of a kind
An unholy alliance in the Holy Land
Always in step, hand in hand
Inseparable like grotesque twins
For your diverse and deadly sins
May your leaders, the war criminals
Burn for ever in the fire of hell!

That AXIS of EVIL does exist and runs
Between Tel Aviv and Washington
All civilised nations must act as one
To save us all from Bush and Sharon

*

And… if Israel succeeds? What a terrible mess!
Where would it lead? This is my guess:
The Zionists would celebrate and the world would wring
Its hands, insisting it had done its best to bring
Peace to that persistent trouble spot
And the Arabs? They would be left to rot
Blamed for our failures and expected to sit
There quietly just accepting it
For another generation, hopefully two
Well, if you believe that, here is news for you:
For they would NOT roll over and they would NOT lie down
And if violence were the only game you left them in town
Then that is what it would be, they would not hide
Their heads in the sand, religion, culture, pride
Would not allow that, the bottom line:
Do we want this world, which is also mine
Blown up because we did not resurrect Palestine?

*

Have you heard about that important birthday?
The Nuremberg Trials are sixty - Hooray!
We can learn from the past but not re-set the clock
So a perfect time to reflect and take stock
And ask: when will Israel be in the dock?

*

Boys hurling rocks at an Israeli tank
In Gaza or somewhere in the West Bank -
Men grabbing planes and hurling them like rocks
With fuel, passengers and themselves at tall tower blocks -
Look at it briefly and you surely cannot fail
To see the only difference is that of scale

Are there foreign fighters in Iraq? Oh - surprise!
They are there because of you and their numbers will rise
Jihad is not an option but a Muslim's duty-call
And it works just like NATO: all for one and one for all
So get out while you can, bloody American killers!
Allahu Akbar! Al-Hamdu-Lillah!
