I'm sick to death of Israel hiding its crimes behind me. They can fuck off and die. They don't speak for Jews. They speak for themselves.
They are a fucking disgrace to humanity and to Jews the world over. It's not anti-Semitic to say so.
What the USA did to the native population was a disgrace and can't be undone. But I'll make a couple of points about that.
We can say out loud that it was genocide. It was a disgrace and a crime against humanity. That's simply the truth. I don't hate my country. I can love my country and state the truth. And we can do better.
And if a family from the Pine Ridge or Four Corners reservation wants to move in next door to me they can do that. And they can vote in our local, state and federal elections. And the occupied Palestinians have no such rights. Even the Palestinian "citizens" of Israel live under apartheid, though it's less severe then in the occupied territories. (or is it anti-Semitic to say "occupied territories")

---------------------------------------- Beds Are Burning
Midnight Oil
Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share
The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance When our earth is turning How do we sleep While our beds are burning
How can we dance When our earth is turning How do we sleep While our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent Now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In forty five degrees
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share
The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back
How can we dance When our earth is turning How do we sleep While our beds are burning
How can we dance When our earth is turning How do we sleep While our beds are burning
The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent now To pay our share
The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them We're gonna give it back
How can we dance When our earth is turning How do we sleep While our beds are burning
