[Gush Shalom] 'Parade of wickedness' - by Chaim Hanegbi

[Gush Shalom (Israeli Peace Bloc)]

The cry from the heart of senior peace activist and columnist Chaim Hanegbi, 
which we on Sunday passed on to the Israeli list, was translated by Eldad 
Benary - who read it as a poem.


Parade of wickedness

  The Right and the "Left", war mongers and "peace 

  seekers", all discussing ways of annihilating Arafat. All 

  of Israel members of the jury, authorized to 

  decide the Palestinian leader's fate. 

  Democracy of blood and fire:

  Some will him imprisoned, some deported, some executed.

  The drum beats silence the voice of reason, paralyze common sense, 

  quiet all morals.


 Days of darkness

  Bankrupt national - military leadership,

  irresponsible politicians and adventurous officers.

  All promises of "security" and "peace" are exposed to all as lies.

  All they can do today and tomorrow, is what they did yesterday,

  and the day before, same, only more of the same.

  "Defensive shield" for ever and ever.

  
Peace is dying, war celebrating.

  Ariel Sharon, pushed by Mufaz and Ayalon, supported 

  by Ben Eliezer and Peres, now hurries to the White House.

  To postpone the Saudi plan, cancel the Egyptian plan, 

  erase the Jordanian plan.

  Remove from the world's agenda 

  any peace plans, all diplomatic initiatives.

  Insure Israel has a free hand 

  in "the war to subdue the Palestinian Authority".

  A free hand to bring an entire people to it's knees, 

  kill forever it's desire to be a free nation in it's own land.

  
Annihilating Arafat will be a tragedy for generations.

  This devastating government is betting it all

   the two peoples of this land

   but dice in it's hand.

   Immense the army of reporters and commentators, paid and unpaid

   spokespeople, advisers and consultants, engaged as professional

   propagandists,  at her service, to blind our eyes, brainwash us all.

   The journey to Arafat's annihilation a national celebration

   a  Stately ritual.

   Black clad Satan's footsteps, sickle in his hand.

  
We warn:

  We will all pay 

  for this wickedness

  a very heavy and very bloody price


Chaim Hanegbi.
