Two boys were killed Within less than 12 hours. Ahmed Shahada, Sixteen years old, Was killed by the bullets Of Israeli soldiers who Invaded Nablus. Aryeh Schupak, Fifteen years old, Was killed by a bomb, Planted by a Palestinian, In West Jerusalem. Knesset Member Ofer Kasif Said on the Knesset floor That both boys are victims of The ongoing occupation Which claims the lives Of Israelis and Palestinians alike. But MK Kasif remains An isolated voice. The current Knesset abounds With extreme nationalists and racists, Some of whom are slated For senior ministerial positions In the new cabinet. In their eyes, Only Arye Shechupek Was a victim, And they call upon God To avenge his blood. Ahmed Shahada is In their eyes a "terrorist" Who deserved to die And the soldiers who shot him Should be commended. When this is The dominant mindset In the Knesset and the government, The cycle of bloodshed Is bound to spin Faster and faster, and claim Ever more victims. |
