Refugees in Lebanon

Prajna Pranab | 22.07.2006 10:46 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | Repression

A poem from Prajna

They are refugees,
but there is no refuge in this war.
The Lebanese will be hunted down
as their brothers,
the Palestinians,
were before.

Israel has given them a choice:
you can be
a refugee or terrorist
and in a sick and sordid twist
Bush has already said
the phrase that means
'we want you dead,'
that means 'you have no choice
but run or fight'.
You get the gist:
You're not with us
so you must be a terrorist.

No atrocity is too great -
white phosphorus, banned,
this year's napalm -
to express the greed for power
and hate.
Anything to instill the fear
of which Dahr Jamail wrote
'wary with the aimless stare.'
What can we do?
Go out and vote?

Zionist is taint

Rather then flee, lebanese must be armed and given armor and encourage to fight the zionist scourage. Every one of them must kill one of these subhumans that have for 2 millenia infected our socities. Zionism is but an extension of Judaism, an insidious infectious cancer that blights the common heritage of humanity. They are the enemy do not forget this! Fight them to the last man, woman and child. Whereever the Jew lurks, its taint, vices, corruption and mental compulsions manifest. A bright burning ideological fire must burn in everyones collective hearts and it must generate a giant destructive ablating wave of force aimed at israel with the intention of anhilating israel and the vile species that dwells there.
