The Good Jew Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The Good Jew

There are many good Jews, the majority are good
they individually were in forefront ending injustice
and ushering in democracy in many countries,
for them seeing Israel turned into a fascistic state
must be galling.
Their own state commits murders and sending poets
into jail, they must despair because this is not about
defending Israel's right to exist it is more sinister
it is about the eradication of the Palestinian people.
They, the Jews, must stand up and bring sanity back.
The people of Israel are not sociopaths it must pain
them to witness what is done in their name.
I have no solution, the world fears being called anti- Semitic,
so it is up to the good Semite to end this atrocity done in their name.
