Poem
Israel’s Gift of Slow Death in Gaza Israel’s government says that Rachel Corrie’s 2003 death in Gaza, was not the fault of the military whose army bulldozer rolled over her, stating that it was “an accident she brought upon herself” & so, was the Palestinian family who had been living in the home which young Rachel was standing in front of, put there by accident? have the Palestinian people who live in Gaza been doing so by accident? the UN declares this week that by 2020, Gaza (just a bit larger than twice the size of Washington, DC) will be unlivable due to the Israeli/US military blockade & occupation (um, so where will the people go?) which continues to starve its people of safe drinking water, sufficient electricity, good schools/education, hospitals & decent homes (UM, SO WHERE WILL THE PEOPLE GO?), to name a few, with 80% of its people relying on foreign aid for basic necessities, finding employment largely in the underground market UMMMM MMMM SOOOOOO WHERRRRREE WILL LLL THHHEEE PPPPEEOOPPLEE GOOOO OOO?!!!!!!) & Israel turns a blind eye, Israel pretends that this starvation & strangulation is not illegal & OUR TAXES PAY FOR IT, yes, our taxes in the belly of the declining beast ARE PAYING FOR THE SLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWW BUUUUUURRRNNNINNNG GENOCIDE of the Palestinian people--- it’s not apartheid, it’s not negotiation, it’s not treaties or an accord or a ceasefire of any kind, it’s OUR TAXES PAYING FOR THE SLOW GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE (& if you try to stop it you end up dead like Rachel). A VOTE FOR OBAMA = SLOW GENOCIDE OF PALESTINE. A VOTE FOR ROMNEY = SLOW GENOCIDE OF PALESTINE.
