Upon arriving
In Israel,
President Biden
Voiced verbal
Support for
The Two State Solution –
But immediately
Made it clear that
He would do nothing
To get this solution
Implemented.
Biden had very little
To offer to
The Palestinians.
Not even reopening
The US Consulate
In East Jerusalem –
A measure he had
Explicitly promised.
Biden took off
To Saudi Arabia,
His main destination,
Leaving behind
Millions of Palestinians
Under continuing
Brutal oppression.
Defence Minister Ganz
Who aspires to
Become Prime Minister
Declared that he would not
Negotiate with
The Palestinians
But only seek to
“Reduce the conflict”.
But is it really possible
To reduce the conflict
And ask the Palestinians
To endure the occupation
And wait patiently
For another
American President
Or for a true
Government of Change
In Israel?
This illusion
Might blow up
In all our faces.
