Not in their names – their history too plagued
by feral, rabid hatred acted out
so freely through the ages – this rampage
that ranges hellish with virulent rage
of vicious racism! Th’courageous blaze
of th’Jewish people as they stand ‘n shout
in human solidarity with those
condemning the Israeli regime’s crimes
reverberates chorastic’ly ‘n grows –
olive-tree branches, strong for Palestine!
Tsunamic waves, anti-Semitic, rise;
erupting anti-Arabism spews!
Together, ‘gainst the violent hate unmoved,
both peoples fury at this genocide!
