It is because I am a Jew and once had a dream of a different Israel that I speak out against the cruelty bestowed on the Palestinian population and the beauty that was their land and culture. Oh god how could this have happened? I so strongly believe that Jews had the moral obligation to not oppress as they were once oppressed. It did not happen.
W H Auden wrote this timely poem.
September 1, 1939
Now I and the public know
What all school children learn
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.”
GAZA
Israel!
You have risen from
The ashes of the holocaust
To become your own enemy.
Israel!
You should have learned so well
Man’s inhumanity to man
Is hell.
Palestine!
We are your brothers and sisters.
May this nightmare end.
As-Salaamu Alaykum
