On the Brink of Catastrophe

This subject is too fraught for eloquent poetry
  So please indulge me in a straightforward thought or three

  For the first time in its modern history
  Israel is on the brink of internal catastrophe

  True, there's been bleeding before, sometimes severe
  But to the rescue rode a Menachem Begin or a Golda Meir

  Yet never before has the military been disaffected
  And without it, the specter of an Israel unprotected ... 

  Morphing into invasions by Syria, Jordan, Hezbollah and Iran
  Israeli captives marched to their doom in Tyre and Amman

  Leaving Russia and China free to move in for the kill
  Every holy site in Jerusalem ~ oceans of blood spilled

  The world thrown into chaotic darkness, its center destroyed
  All thanks to cowardly Bibi, who, fearing jail-time, turned paranoid 

  May his senses return immediately ~
  Or may he vanish mysteriously
