Brown kids retrieving corpses *

Donald Trump on Truth Social
shocked by the death that took place in Utah1.
It seems strange that he should be offended
the same orders are given by him
and Daniel Raab, an American, does the same thing without even caring2

I’ve said this before now
the rules change depending on who’s involved.
Remember what I told you
if you criticise Israel, they’ll hate you and call you antisemitic (like Corbyn)

Israel’s not the mythical land of freedom and kubutzes
it’s the home of apartheid and armed thugs who kill brown kids retrieving corpses
and I love my boy and that’s why I’m speaking
I don’t want him to be aware that there’s
any such thing as grieving (or hate or hypocrisy)

Gaza Humanitarian Front, staffed by Infidels MC
“dangle food in front of starving, panicked, exhausted mothers
as they dangle it, then they’re shot wantonly3
Israel says, “there is no famine” and Randy Fine says “starve away4”.

These are dangerous days
to say what you feel is to dig your own grave.
Remember what I tell you
If you’re with them they love you, if you’re brown, they don’t care.

Israel’s not the mythical land of freedom and kubutzes
it’s the home of apartheid and armed thugs who kill unarmed brown kids retrieving corpses
and I love my boy and that’s why I’m speaking
I don’t want him to be aware that there’s
any such thing as grieving (or hate or hypocrisy)
