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.'
