Irish Poet, Tom Paulin's Poem: "Killed In The Crossfire"

John | 24.11.2002 07:24

Harvard professors met for two hours Wednesday and voted to reinvite Tom Paulin, who has made statements comparing US-born settlers in the West Bank with Nazis, and saying they "should be shot dead."



"Killed in the Crossfire,"

We are fed this inert
This lying phrase
Like comfort food
As another little Palestinian boy
In trainers jeans and a white teeshirt
Is gunned down by the Zionist SS
Whose initials we should
- but we don't - dumb goys
Clock in that weasel word
Crossfire

5 Arabs killed, 13 injured in Tul Karm
Five Palestinians, including a wanted man, at least two innocent bystanders and a

home of wanted Fatah man Tarek al Za'al and demanded he give himself up.

When he refused, a helicopter gunship opened fire at the house. Za'al was killed, as were
four passersby, said Palestinian sources, Iham Zakle, 13; Ziad Masharka, 33; Sha'aban
Badir, 33; and Ahmed Juissy, 30. In addition, 13 other Palestinians were wounded, some
seriously, including several children, said Palestinian sources.....
