Palestine Free of Self-Cruelty

Spit out the clot of revenge that kills your voice, that dries up world sympathy. You have the right to resist -- to a limit. Transgress and you're judged harshly by history. Obey the law of conscience in your darkest hour and survive the hurricane you instigated with your daring breakout from your open prison, interlaced with illicit cruelty. No Gazan voted you in power to set their homes on enemy fire! Where in Quran you find rationale for abducting women and children, for murdering whole families in cold blood? The aura of 'Free Palestine' floats in another way with your self-inflicted wounds.
