President Herzog:
“Comparing the State of Israel
To South African apartheid
Is not legitimate criticism.
It is a blood libel! Antisemitism!”
New-Old Prime Minister Netanyahu:
“We are not occupiers
In Judea and Samaria.
It is the Land of our Fathers.
A people cannot be an occupier
In its own country!”.
A small sample of the situation
In the Land of our Fathers
Where there is no apartheid:
In the Knesset elections
Two months ago
A polling station was
Set up in the city of Hebron
Under Israeli military rule.
Who voted at that polling station?
About a thousand Israeli settlers
Living in a fortified enclave
In the heart of Hebron.
All of them voted for
racist, extremist nationalist parties.
Who did not have the right to vote
At the polling station in Hebron?
About two hundred thousand
Palestinian residents of Hebron
Who live under a harsh
Israeli military rule.
Isn’t this reminiscent
Of the elections
For whites only
Which used to be held
In South Africa?
Do these settlers behave
Like they are living
In their own country?
Or do they act in Hebron
Like foreign occupiers?
The International Court
In the Hague
Will provide
Some answers that
Herzog and Netanyahu
Might not like.
