Israel Bug-Sprays Israeli Citizens By Genevieve Cora Fraser

July 10, 2004

 

Bedouin tribes of Negev

As ancient as the sand

Are Rounded-Up by Israel

Spraying pesticide

On their time-honored land

Though first captured

As Israeli citizens

In 1948 they are hated

As non-Jewish intruders

An offense to be remedied

Through chemical liquidation

Aerial spraying of livestock

Crops, water and Bedouin

Villages with Monsanto's

Witches brew of toxic

Roundup pesticide

For a healthy dose

Of gastrointestinal

Hemorrhaging, cancer

Sperm loss and death

To the Bedouins

Not of the preferred race

Round them up, drive

Them out or kill them

Like the gypsies despised

By Hitler and Nazi friends

Who gassed and liquefied

Them Israeli cleansing agents

Sweep out the disease

Of a non-preferred populace

A subculture Arab race

Smashing homes and lives

Into oblivion shouting

“Never Again.  Never Again.

Never Again!!” as they light

A thousand candles

To stop anti-Semitism

At their gate

Didn’t anyone tell

Israeli Jews

Bedouins are Semites

But maybe not you

 

 

 
Earth, a planet hungry for peace

The Israeli apartheid (security) wall around Palestinian population centers in the West Bank, like a Python (Alquds, 1/25/03.
