Zipi Livnis Christmas party, etc

An Open letter to Zipi Livni and all the people in Foreign Affairs,
Government of Israel.

In fairness, you get your copy first


Zippi Livni, are you out of your mind?

Zippi Livni, are you out of your mind,
have you gone barking mad,
or are you just blind?
If you merely search their pockets,
you'll see its not the three-year-olds
who are firing all those rockets.

Zippi Livni's Christmas party

Zippi Livni's Christmas party
went on for a week
and all the kids go so excited
some could barely speak

And then about three hundred,
completely lost their heads
which had to be stored in boxes
kept underneath their beds

While the rest of them,
safe in the dugong trees
warmed the hands they had
on the phosphorus breeze.

There's no point asking Zipi why.
We are watching an old dream
fall from the sky.
We are watching a fairytale die.

I do not think you people are monsters. My father went to war in North Africa and came back a shell shock case. When I asked him why, he only said, he did not like the way Hitler was treating the Jews. I am anyway not for war, but I do not like the way you are treating the people of Gaza. Rommel and his men behaved far better than you are doing at present. I think you are losing the world's sympathy, perhaps forever.

Enough?
