Strike Back At Terror

His grandfather attacked mine
    to remove him from land that grandpa had bought
  Oozing hatred from deep in his gut
    he'd force grandpa off of land that he sought

  Then his father attacked mine
    with molotov cocktails, homemade bombs
  I asked my father, why not strike back
    my dad was silent, a good answer he lacked

  Now the grandson attacks me, ever more viciously
    Yet the world shrugs it off, doesn't seem to see...
  But when my family's attacked, when I strike back at terror
    ~ Why is it I, the Israeli, who's always in error?!
