Israelis, to steal our land,
You need kill not us alone, but your humanity.
Before you flatten our olives,
Crush our houses,
Shred our bodies,
You must first shred every strand of decency,
Flatten every tower of compassion,
Smoother every voice of reason.
And then,
Cleansed, Cleared, Colonised,
The Three Cs of Israel stamped on Gaza,
Aside the shimmering Sea ahead and bright,
A compassionless wilderness stretching before you,
In your villas overlooking,
As beneath our bodies lie.
You may take our land, or keep your humanity.
But both, that is denied you.
