𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 𝐉𝐄𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐌 𝐊𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐔𝐑 [#Poem posted on FB by Pete Seidman, a #socialist activist since the late 60's.] “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘸 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦,” 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴. “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 … 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘴.” The moral sense in my old bones Compels no need in me to atone I feel furious anger not any shame For the genocide that’s being waged in my name. And I’ll not own it if it’s all just the same I will work at rage against it this and every other day Something very plain I’ll say: To the god those war criminals invoke in vain If you’re up there in the sky Idly watching more than seventy thousand Palestinians die, Wash your hands of that Zionist rot! Whose outrages make the world’s finest cry And on our pages smear a bloody blot. —Pete Seidman, 9/20/26 #AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Jewish #Jew #politics #poetry @palestine
