Gaza

Two thousand five, the Israeli PM thought there he knew the way HE had to get out of Gaza, it's impossible to stay "We can't rule over all these people, and the world will thank us too" So he pulled out Jewish villages, but troubles only grew. Hamas took charge in Gaza, it blamed even World Wars on the Jews Its' first charter said Jews must die, they didn't hide their views Israel was stolen land, besides, Islam must rule the earth So they shot rockets and dug tunnels, intifada given birth Now I look at incentives, when I view the Middle East Israelis look around, outnumbered in the very least There's also the west, which they need as a friend The incentives are to minimize conflict, on that you can depend. But for Hamas, the incentives are the reverse The more bloodshed, the more Western activists curse Like "F Israel" or "death to the IDF" There's a spirit afoot out here, you can feel its fiery breath. Activists say "genocide," but they said it even before that Israel responded to October 7 with a reluctant war Its urban warfare, a place no soldier wants to be But Hamas wants the country, from the river to the sea. You can argue that the Jews have no business being there Just because they ruled 2000 years ago, to you it's still not fair But use your brain, genocide is not the goal, in this desperate fray Since it started Gaza's population grew, says the CIA. People die, don't get me wrong, in every western war men, women, children, war is hell at the core But be honest, see what's happening, it should be a matter of pride To see reality as it is, rather than join the chant of "genocide".
