The Moral Low Ground

They've been starving Palestinians,
Shooting kids for fun,
With churches, homes, and hospitals
Under Israel's gun.
It's the logical conclusion
Of what was started long ago.
Europeans want their homeland,
So the residents have to go.

We've claimed the moral low ground
By joining Israel's war.
We were already giving
Everything they asked us for.
Who knows what these genociders
Might still have in store?
We've claimed the moral low ground
By joining Israel's war.

They say they're fighting "terrorists."
It's enough to make you cry.
To spot this case of projection
You hardly have to try.
Perhaps you've heard of Deir Yassin,
The Nakba's biggest score,
But hidden from our public,
There were many, many more.

We've claimed the moral low ground
By joining Israel's war.
We were already giving
Everything they asked us for.
Who knows what these genociders
Might still have in store?
We've claimed the moral low ground
By joining Israel's war.

What's really outright slaughter
They like to call a "war."
Founded upon their treachery,
We've seen it all before.
These residents of Gaza
Are mostly refugees
From the larger land of "Israel"
That the Europeans seized.

We've claimed the moral low ground 
By joining Israel's war. 
We were already giving 
Everything they asked us for. 
Who knows what these genociders 
Might still have in store? 
We've claimed the moral low ground 
By joining Israel's war.
