ANOTHER N-WORD

Netanyahu like his best mate Trump
is a businessman with a cruel streak.
He’s currently pushing his new
Mediterranean diet, devised especially
for inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.
Strip for him means strip to the bone
as you can see on the news each day.
Originally, Palestinians were to eat lead.
He’s now elaborating on this idea.
After setting up food distribution hubs
to concentrate his lead-consuming targets,
he’s offering a virtually food-free version
of the Mediterranean diet to make sure
babies and children, in particular, suffer
as they starve to death. If they survive
they’ll be too brain damaged to cause
the mighty Israel any problems in the future
and so thin they’ll all fit into a single block
on the Gaza Strip. The Waldorf Hotel?
No. I think N said it’s called the “Walled Off.”


Tony's YouTube reading of "Another N-Word"


Tony confesses: "Each time I see the news I’m thoroughly sickened by what Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza. Furthermore, it appears that Israel is forever destined to get away literally with murder under its 'antisemitism dome' that is akin to its 'antimissile dome,' a sort of cloak of invisibility that prevents countries that support it from seeing or understanding the crimes it commits every day."
