P U L S E

Here is Tom Paulin’s famous poem which caused much consternation amongst Israel’s apologists in the US when it appeared in the Observer in February 2001.

To me the Zionists, who want to go back to the Jewish state of 70 AD (destruction of Jerusalem by Titus), are just as offensive as the Nazis. With their nosing after blood, their ancient ‘cultural roots’, their partly canting, partly obtuse winding back of the world, they are altogether a match for the National Socialists. – Victor Klemperer, 13 June 1934

We’re fed this inert

this lying phrase

like comfort food

as another little Palestinian boy

in trainers jeans and a white teeshirt

is gunned down by the Zionist SS

whose initials we should

- but we don’t – dumb goys -

clock in that weasel word crossfire
