Palestinian Rights

You have the basic human right
To live
And breath
And exist,
As it is God's will.

You do not
Have the right
To instill fear in our hearts
Every day
That our brothers and sisters might not make it out alive.

You do not
Have the right
To hurt and kill us at every turn.

You do not 
Have the right
To kidnap our soldiers,
And hold them for years like animals,
While you sit comfortably in our jails like kings.

You do not
Have the right
To take our provisions,
Our food and medicine, given freely,
And use it to make yourselves stronger
To kill us some more.

You do not 
Have the right
To call yourselves victims,
While you victimize us every day.

You do not
Have the right
To equality,
When you behave like animals.

You do not
Have the right
To protest at the injustice being done to you,
When you have no idea
Of what is just and right.

You do not
Have the right
To a land that you simply wish
To destroy.

If these are the rights
Of which you speak,
Then no,
You do not
Have any rights
At all.

  1. Palestinians are Arabs, they have a right to live in the truly apartheid Arabia.

    Arabs are mainly Muslims, they have the right to live in the truly apartheid Arabia and its capital Mecca or one of the other 56 Islamic nations.

    Arabs need to read their holy books to see that Israel would be re-established by YY's will and that it would be called Israel, the Covenant to Israel (Jews) cannot be broken, that YY is not a respecter of person and welcomes all who embrace His Laws, Judgments and Testimonies.

  2. Great poem - very powerful.

    I just wrote abut another "right" they are demanding, which I feel is equally absurd.

    1. Thank you.

      I assume you've heard about the controversy going on at Brooklyn College right now?

    2. Nope, I'm a bit out of the NY loop these days. Did it inspire this piece?

    3. Yes. BC had a speaker coming to speak about Palestinian rights etc. Jewish students came to protest. they were apparently kicked out of the speach. I walked by during the protest. this is my support with Israel.
