Palestinian Peace Parody

Starring Benjamin Netanyahu, George Mitchell and Mahmoud Abbas.
Written and produced by Benjamin Netanyahu, directed by Benjamin Netanyahu and George Mitchell.

Oddly, it seems indirect talks have been approved to take place between Israel and representatives of Palestine...to the exclusion of the democratically elected Palestinian government, amid these realities:

"...the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) reported that from April 29 - May 5:

-- Israeli security forces continued to attack Palestinian civilians and property in the West Bank and Gaza;

-- seven Palestinian civilians, including two children and a journalist, were shot and wounded;

-- nonviolent West Bank protesters were assaulted;

-- the IDF fired at Palestinian farmers in Gaza border areas;

-- their forces conducted 23 incursions in West Bank communities and one in Gaza;

-- in the West Bank, they arrested 40 civilians, including eight children, three journalists, and two human rights workers;

-- Gaza remains under siege while West Bank free expression and movements are restricted;

-- home and other Palestinian demolitions continue;

-- Separation Wall construction continues a process of separation, isolation, and annexation of 12% of Palestinian West Bank land;

-- East Jerusalem ethnic cleansing continues;

-- West Bank and Gazan agricultural lands are being destroyed;

-- regular settler attacks on Palestinians occur; and

-- settlement expansion goes on unabated."

Men

There is no peace
in you
man
Nothing is safe

Why do you war
even on me
one little girl?

Are you satisfied
with your deaths?
__________

There is no love
in you
man
Why, therefore, do you live?

What is wrong
with your mouth
has the Devil got your tongue?

Are you satisfied
with your lust?
______________

There is no wisdom
in you
man
Whither have you led your mind?

Where “up” is “down”
and “down” is “up”
Does your ill logic
numb your diseased conscience?

Are you satisfied
with your power?
_______________

There is no light
in you
man
How, therefore, do you see?

Ugliness is Beauty
Beauty is ugliness
in your darkness

For darkness obscures Truth
and Truth is Beauty

Are you satisfied
in the obscurity of your shadows?
________________

There is no comfort
in you
man
So where can I rest my broken heart
to heal?
From your dark world
of war, betrayal and lies

You force me
to seek my love,
wisdom and light
inside myself
to heal
alone.

So at least tell me
that you are satisfied.

Fear of Fatal "Friendship"

I can only comfort myself with the reminder, that no heart can beat forever--least of all a broken one.

Fear of Fatal “Friendship” - 6 May, 2010

This weakness.....breathless....so faint
lost
my legs, like a newborn's,
quivering beneath me
perilously
on a quaking ground
now here, and
suddenly gone, I step off
free-falling I flail

If, by dear God’s mercy, my heart
should stop beating this moment
and take wing, fluttering out of my chest
and release me
of this pain
this shaking
these tears

I,
as I plummet in air,
faint
can die finally away
from this fatal fear
as the last remaining feather of breath
tickles itself free from my trembling breast.
