INTERFERENCE

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:35:48 +0300

When Israel recalled
Its ambassador from Vienna,
Because Haider’s party had
Entered the government –

That was not interference
In their internal affairs.

When President Sarkosy
Advises Netanyahu to
Dismiss Lieberman as
Foreign Minister –

That, of course, is
Interference in our affairs.

CROCODILE’S TEARS

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:22:44 +0300

Those who oppress
Millions of Palestinians
For 42 years –
Rave about the freedom fighters
- in Iran.

Those who rejected the results
Of the Palestinian elections –
Are shocked by the thwarting
Of the people’s will
- in Iran.

Those who shoot and kill
Palestinian demonstrators
In Wadi Ara, Bilin and Nialin –
Shudder at the sight of
The police shooting protesters
- in Iran.

“YOU MUST be celebrating,” the interviewer from a popular radio station told me after Netanyahu’s speech. “After all, he is accepting the plan which you proposed 42 years ago!” (Actually it was 60 years ago, but who is counting?)

None of their business

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:05:31 +0300

Netanyahu demands that
The Palestinians
Recognize Israel as
The “State of the Jewish People”.

In Oslo, the Palestinians
Have already recognized
The sovereign State of Israel.
All other definitions
Are our own affair.

Until this very day
We have not succeeded
Even to decide
Who is a Jew.
How does that concern
The Palestinians?

The speech for the sake of continued settlement construction

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:01:46 +0300

Obama won’t wink back

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:32:26 +0300

Netanyahu’s biggest problem is to make believe that the old is new. To make yesterday’s tired old clichés sound like the rallying call for tomorrow. But how to do that without using winks?

OBAMA SAYS: All building activity in the settlements must cease forthwith!

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:45:19 +0300

OBAMA IS RIGHT!

There is no difference between “private” Arab land and the...

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:08:10 +0300

42 years of corrupting the country

42 years of creeping annexation

42 years of sabotaging peace
