Disdain, oppress and persecute anyone
long enough, threaten, demean, humiliate
and they've been psychically wounded. Carry
on and add to that litany of contempt casual
violence enabled by diminishing the human
stature of those forever at target and then no
type of assault, no corrective violence to alter
their place in the world seems to suffice. Leaving
the ultimate expedient of ridding oneself of an
intolerable nuisance whose presence galls and
we enter the theatre of atrocities once expressed
in the frequency of deadly pogroms which
themselves were obviously inadequate to rid
the world of the pestilence of Jews. Enter the
Final Solution to ultimately forge a perpetual
motion machine; delegitimize, sanction, isolate
dispossess and violate paving the way inevitably for
vast populations of those whose heritage found root
in what the pious call the Holy Land to be
obliterated. That was then. Now the remainders
of the despised have resurrected their ancient
homeland and now they respond blow for blow.
Yet there is the reality of timid hesitation, full
self confidence absent for the outlier nation
remains held in low regard yet yearns for
approval, so in response to deadly provocations
looks to the international community, unwilling
to earn further censure and so refrains from
striking the final blow to an enemy once
again wholly dedicated to its extermination.
