The Genocide is being televised

by Hassen Lorgat

 

The Genocide is being televised

24 hours non-stop

But this is nothing new: It is a rerun

It all began with the Nakba of ‘48 which continued thereafter non-stop

 

The Genocide is being televised

The people cannot stay home

As Zionist bombs have left them for ruins

These bombs, courtesy of the love of Israel’s friend, the USA

 

And a hefty price

3bn dollar per annum US military aid package

That’s just over 130 bn dollars since the land was officially stolen some 75 years ago

Meanwhile millions of people in the USA are damn poor and without medical aid

(This will not be televised)

 

The Genocide is being televised

As the recently homeless and destitute, thirsty and hungry, queue

Waiting their turn for cooking oil, flour or death

Playing God Oct 2023 is the new video game of the Zionist youth in military fatigues who have lost count of their non-human kills

 

The Genocide is being televised

As we watch the news sipping coca cola, eating popcorn or a homemade pizza

Every few minutes a new dead body piles up

The Palestinians in Gaza have long been starved and denied water, dying..

way before the killer bomb comes to take their final breaths

 

The Genocide is being televised

No one is safe: children, women, old men and those who look like they are fighters

Over twenty thousand of those the doctors could count

And thousands undercounted lying beneath the rubble

 

The Genocide is being televised

As the exhausted corpse washers have no time to rest

But for many viewers have had enough

And have taken to the streets, shouting:

No es una guerra, es un genocidi

Israel barra barra… Falastin hurra hurra!

Basta, Enough,

End ethnic cleansing,

End the occupation, Liberty Now

 

The Genocide is being televised

Whilst the governments in Europe and the US of A

Continue their elite machinations

to ban Palestinians’ right to free speech, boycott and organise

 

As journalists and poets in Gaza, Lebanon remain the subjects of an IDF sniper’s bullet

or precision bombing… to stop them from bringing you the news

Their epitaphs read: Impunity, ethnic cleansing and genocide – a programme made possible by the government of the USA

 

The genocide is being televised

The revolution is in the streets and the people of the world have spoken

Those who speak in and to His Masters’ Voice… the BBC, NBC, Sky FOX, CNN, the New York Times, and others all lay naked

Everyone – worker and student and more – are reporters – honest witnesses

Exposing the lies and speaking truth to power.

 

The Genocide is being televised

We witness how those neutral on human rights, the United Kingdom and Germany

The authors of the Balfour Declaration and holocaust against Jews, gipsies, and other undesirables

Now join forces with that untouchable perpetrator to collectively punish a proud people

  • Are Palestinians not deserving victims?

 

The genocide is being televised

We watch daily how the rest of the world’s Mis-leaders and the world’s bodies fail us

NATO, the EU, USA and the ICC and not forgetting the United Nations

All simply change the channels to Disney or mindless sports

Only to later abstain or vote against the calls for a Ceasefire

Your days are numbered

The excuse that you did not know will not count

Because the genocide is Live and we are recording it

 

The Genocide is being televised

Now the world knows

Is the tail wagging the dog?

Or are they singing the same tune?

It is clear that Sleepy Joe and the illegitimate Zionist state have eyes on Palestinian natural resources, the beautiful land and sea, gas, water and much more

(This is not being televised!)

 

The Genocide is being televised

and from under the rubble

…a young girl Leila twists and wiggles her way through

holding a flower and a rock

the people surround her, offering the little they have

whilst the buildings around them fall

she stands defiant

Inspiring movements

…demanding a new just world
