Now that Bibi has (to no one’s surprise) admitted that he would rather occupy Gaza than accept a partial success or make meaningful political concessions to the Palestinians, the following is pertinent:
ISRAEL’S ARMY
Don’t stop that bombing.
I could bomb all night.
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I’m putting the war to right.
Call the Biden Administration.
Tell them to prepare for an occupation.
_______________
Israel’s army is here to stay.
Israel’s army are on their way.
Gazans would rather be anywhere else but here today.
__________
Gaza is up for grabs.
The town is full of Arabs.
We should be in Palestine
Changing facts on the West Bank line.
We’re sending the message we won’t leave this time.
____________
But there’s the danger.
The election’s coming up next year.
But it can be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Biden’s ear.
Times are bad, but things could be much worse.
We could send you to the Ukraine first.
___________
Israel’s army is here to stay.
Israel’s army are on their way.
Gazans would rather be anywhere else but here today.
