The 'Not-in-My-Namers'

  They shout ‘Not in my name’
    as if for Israel’s self-defense
       they were to blame

  They scream ‘Globalize the Intifada’
    as if their voices ever mattered 

  They chant ‘Palestine will be ‘free’
    from the River to the Sea
       without a clue as to what that means

  They denounce the IDF from their comfortable American homes
     allege Al-Jazeera-reported ‘Israeli atrocities’ in vulgar poems

  They are ‘Peace Now,’ ‘J Street,’ ‘progressive’ Jews ~
     whom the Mullahs aim to slaughter when they so choose
