Never Again

NEVER AGAIN! How many times can we claim “Never Again” As justification for our Systematic genocide! “Never Again” Has worked time and again, To control the world’s media Revisiting Nazi death camps So we will never forget As a Jew, I must support Israeli atrocities Or I am labeled anti-Semitic, Ignoring the actual definition of Semitic Which includes both Jews and Arabs! How can I stand by, And watch my fellow Jews, Destroy Palestinian homes, Palestinian schools, hospitals, and mosques, And hold fast to “never again”. When will my Israeli brothers and sisters Awake from their collective reliance On a “rational” that can no longer Overlook the fact That the oppressed have become the oppressors That integral to the strategy of “Never Again” Is the erroneous conclusion That all and anything Is acceptable in the prevention of its re-occurrence. I embrace the concept of “Never Again”, But not as a rallying cry To obliterate, decimate, and subjugate, my brothers and sister Palestinians. To this I will take a stand! NEVER AGAIN!
