The State of Israel
Celebrated its 74th
Independence Day
While making it clear
To the Palestinians
That they will never
Get to celebrate
An Independence Day
Of their own.
The settlers in the
Armed Jewish enclave
An the heart of Hebron
Also celebrated
Israel’s Independence as
The Israeli Air Force flyover
Swept above the city.
Is it feasible
To live like this forever,
Independence Day celebrations
For Israelis and
A regime of oppression
For the Palestinians?
It appears that
This situation is
Extremely costly and painful.
