Unholy Israel

Israel is iconic
 a so-called Holy Land

which is, of all nations,
most ironic:

A people no different
from the pathetic rest of us
 nearly extincted by fascistic
genocide of what's ethnic;
Europes refugees rejected
from Israels new boundaries
as victims of their own weakness
unlike the newly enfranchiled
Jews for whom
the UK and USA
stole the nation of Palestine
encamped that people
to create an imaginary country
from the Bible as a safe place
from which controlling oil
of Middle East countries
would be easy
for a while at least

 ethnic cleansing
by fascists

now allow their military
to occupy illegally
 a neighboring country

and when Muslim kids
get out of school,
Israeli soldiers
taunt them
 through the tall fence,
 toss over bricks
and if they pick up

they shoot them dead
                                                  ....... for kicks
