Do not play games

If you want to say
I am evil
go ahead
you have the two thousand pound bombs
we have donkeys to carry away the wounded
you have killed our ambulance drivers
seventy generations we lived in peace 
with everyone here
until colonists said we must disappear
do not play games
you are the terrorists
why not just admit it

That grown men and women can cheer the stealing of land, the slaughter of children, most recently a 10 year old in roller skates, let me give you a message, the world has opened its eyes.
