Indifference

(UN finds Israelis intentionally shot women, children, disabled during Gaza protests)

If you possess a gun,

You may think you have won

By shooting any lame person –

Widow or vulnerable or disabled

Or helpless innocent children –

And occupy the land

But

You have not actually won

You have only exposed your inhuman

Character that can be sympathized by none

Because of your rude callous opinion

Remember that by stamping on fire

Murdering Palestinians creating quagmire

Your zionist policy will not survive

Nor will your dictatorship thrive
