Israel's Boiling Pot

"Woe to those
who encircle a people
with walls and oppression,
who light a fire beneath them
to incite them to violence
in order to justify further oppression!

Woe to those
who mistreat a people,
evict them from their homes
and push them off of their land
in order to confiscate the land
that their hearts desire!

Woe to those
who have used their own suffering
as propaganda and as a pretext
for ignoring their misdeeds
in order to commit injustice
against another people!

Woe to those
who have made Palestinians
to be 'flesh in the pot'
and have slain them
in order to destroy them
so that Israel may have more land!

Does the Lord not see?
Cannot I see the hearts of all?
Will I not repay those
who have worked injustice?
Will I not punish those
who incite the oppressed to violence?

Repent, Israel!
Repent, you who call yourselves
'Friends of israel',
for I will not hold you guiltless
for shielding her
and partaking in her crimes!

Repent and seek peace,
justice and reconciliation!"
