Anti-Semitic Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Anti-Semitic

Rating: 5.0

Antisemitic

Quite lost, lost, I feel,
When hear Antisemitic,
Know anti, so, no need,
Search for the latter piece.

Being sweet or bitter,
Must go on with research.

Semitic people or the Semites,
Have roots in Africa, Ethiopia,
And to some, the Middle East,
Akkadians, and Phoenicians,
Including Arabs, and Jews.

So, what is hate speech?
What is this ownership?
Only by one of these?

I, neither am Arab,
Nor Phoenician,
Or Akkadian!

I, a simple person,
In love with beauty,
Kindness and equality,
Am against insulting,
Injustice, cruelty,
As well as depriving,
The Arab, Phoenician,
Even the Akkadians,
From their ownership,
Of being Semitic.

Therefore, as I can see,
Being Antisemitic,
Includes hate-speech,
Against the Palestinians.

Students, youngsters,
All around the universe,
I am with you, let's speak.

2) All my life I've been protesting against wars and injustices. I was rightfully taught right from wrong!

Very well expressed, Nassy! There is good reason why so many courageous professors are shoulder-to-shoulder with these students! To risk their reputations, and possibly jobs, is very admirable! If they can't teach these young adults right from wrong, who can?
