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".
