Flag March - Dangerous Game
Teenage yeshiva students from America
'Big Heroes' - 'Land of Israel Nationalists'
All yell 'Death to the Arabs' as they smile for the cameras
A 'real good look' for 'Parents'-skins'-in-the-game activists'
Another year come and gone; another Flag March survived
Its sole achievement, stoking ultra-nationalistic pride
Next to the sea of blue-and-white flags burns white-hot terror
Ready to avenge insults directed at ~
Palestinian flag standard-bearers

The Flag March was originally meant to commemorate the capture
of East Jerusalem and the reunification of Jerusalem during the
1967 ('Six-Day') War. What it's become now is, in my opinion, a
gross perversion of its original message of 'Unification.'
