Notes About The Poem

Everyone thinks that Israel occupies Gaza. Well, Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Guess who has occupied Gaza since 2007?  Read the poem and find out the truth...

An Inconvenient Truth

Pro-Palestinians shout
     What about?
   "How can you support
     Gaza's occupier?"

   Those who shout
     are rather dumb louts
   Gaza's occupier since 2007
     is (surprise!) ~ Hamas!

   Israel withdrew in 2005
     eighteen years ago
   Ever since then Gaza has been
     100 percent Palestinian

Hi Gershon, the idiots don't like when facts get in the way. Brain-dead U.S. college students being pro-Hamas. I rest my case. ~

That they may now be victims of a genocide, is what they're shouting about. How can you call every innocent Palestinian girl and boy who may soon lose their lives louts? Hamas are cruel psychopathic __ 's! agreed.

Aw, your comment is super appreciated, Karen. Hope I am worthy of 1/2 of it. Grateful, Gershon
