EASTER MEDITATION


EASTER 2024

I don’t want to write about food
or visits to the stupormarket
while people in Gaza are being
starved to death deliberately by
Netanyahu and the profane AukusPorkus
Coalition of the Swilling and Killing
I don’t like family Easter feasts
mindless gobbling, pomp and ceremony
when children are taught to associate
death of a political martyr and fluffy things
obscene chocolate gluttony
built on child plantation labour
while Aboriginal children of Australia
are under curfew in Alice Springs
crime rises with wealth inequality
I don’t like celebrating another ritual
capitalist appropriation of religion
in service of the white supremacist
colonialist patriarchal ruling class
an intersectional rort built on annihilation
and subjugation while an impossible virgin
smiles benevolently despite her loss.

– March 2024

POEMS FOR A CANCELLED CHRISTMAS


NO GENOCIDE FOR CHRISTMAS

Deck the halls
with amputations
Israel is a fascist state
Tis the season
for mass slaughter
Crush zionism and celebrate
Turf it from
the United Nations
For Christmas
no more assassinations
Israel is a fascist state
Dismantle it
Boycott it
Don’t wait
Till it kills
More children
It calls “little snakes”
Stealing their land
because #GenocideJoe
Says it can
Strip away its tinsel wrapping
Israel is a fascist state.

December 2023


SILENCED

Because if we don’t see it or feel it
the blow didn’t happen
the wind is revealed as trees bend
and shuffle their leaves
when bodies lie like playing cards
strewn in shrouds along the ground
so much fallen fruit from a season
of harvest in the charnel house
see rotten farmers feeding the world pain
if we turn away the wind will still blow again

November 2023


NUTS ON THE TABLE

Oh what a lovely familiar war
Nutolini wants so much more
Land for settlers, rewards for sacrifice
Annihilation of ‘animals’ a worthy price
Israel’s the nadir of colonial white pride
Wallowing in endless genocide.

December 2023


ODE TO DECOLONISATION

Decolonize the world of patriarchy
From the mountains to the forests
To the rivers to the sea
End the scourge of white supremacy
People should be free in every nation
From capitalism’s vile predation.

Apartheid Israel, you can’t hide,
you’re committing genocide,
The whole world knows you lie and lie
By your own foul acts, your end is nigh.

Time to bury US hegemony
for people want freedom
not capitalist tyranny
open up your weary eyes
find solidarity and decolonize.

November 2023


I SEE YOU WHITEY

domesticated by washing machines and
other white lovely things
microwaving dreams
turning away from the savages
displaced by your invader parents
turning away because you can
busy with barbies and dresses
surfing and ebikes
beautiful minds don’t want to worry about wars
while long covid wreaks hell with
frontal lobotomies
whitey, whitey everywhere
turning away because they can
doing the ‘both sides’ tango
while they forget they live on stolen land.

December 2023


OCCUPATION

you don’t pause a beating
you end a beating
unless you’re a continuous beater
with a track record of wife beating
israel’s like a dedicated wife beater
allowed to get away with it
put the missus in her place
a little touch up now and then reminds her
to submit and make allowances
for the high and mighty lords

December 2023


AI POETRY

the putridness of forced rhymes
typical of AI slime
with no musicality
and even less sensibility
AI’s the antithesis of revolutionary
Locking imaginations
in sanitized mediocrity

December 2023


||INTROSPECTION||

every day i wake up
then once i check the media
stomach sickens
yet i cannot stop analysing
even while heart pounds
and bear trap mind recoils
still i analyse
taking the long view
from far away in the forest
i analyse and wish
i could return to the future now
mission to study the beginning of
the fall of the US empire complete
escaping inevitable collapse
extinctions and end play
of relentless human folly
still i analyse
unbearable anguish of oppression
bloody criminal wet dreams
of decadent old white men
prancing in celebrity boxes
relishing macabre spectacle
blooding eager young
ejaculating white phosphorus
still i analyse as tears fall
enough in which to drown
imperial wretches who starve
bomb and genocide
people who resist
for their simple wish to be free
from thieving oppressors
occupying them
still i analyse
there is no god
she was betrayed
banished and bamboozled

November 2023


LANDLORDS

I would like to build a house from landlords,
Stacked into rammed earth walls
Or turned into bricks
Or stuffed into bottles
Then they would serve some purpose
Other than making their underlings miserable.
They could be repurposed into doors that close shut
on cold callers and JWs, ground up and combined with
bamboo and packaging.
Enjoy my recycled ruling class door
Which opens to admit the poor.

EMPIRICALS

this is a poem about feelings
here’s some money
to collaborate with invaders
how do you feel?
if this poem is white supremacy
there’s a euro boot on your neck
how do you feel?
if this poem is a dominant force
do you resist?
do you understand your oppressor
forgive them and heal them
be nice to the boot
as it crushes you to death
if this poem is oppression
if this poem is about land theft
whatever you do, don’t judge whitey
that won’t feed them
this is a poem about irony
it’s not about me
it’s never fair
divide and rule
they take your share
can’t you see
it’s not about you
they’re never kind
they have your absence in mind
this is a poem about hegemony
this is a poem about genocide
when there’s none alive to object
nowhere left to hide

October 16, 2023



Those who remain silent and pretend to be neutral about deliberate psychopathic
criminality, which Israel has conducted against the people of Palestine since
1948 in order to steal their land become complicit with genocide.

As Desmond Tutu said:
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the
oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that
you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

Raz Segal, an Israeli expert in modern genocide:

‘I think that, indeed, what we’re seeing now in Gaza is a case of genocide. We
have to understand that the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of
the Crime of Genocide from 1948 requires that we see special intent for genocide
to happen. And to quote the convention, intent to destroy a group is defined as
racial, ethnic, religious or national as such that is collectively, not just
individuals. And this intent, as we just heard, is on full display by Israeli
politicians and army officers since 7th of October. We heard Israel’s president.
It’s well-known what the Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on 9th of October
declaring a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off water, food, fuel, stating that
“We’re fighting human animals,” and we will react “accordingly.” He also said
that “We will eliminate everything.” We know that Israeli army spokesperson
Daniel Hagari, for example, acknowledged wanton destruction and said explicitly,
“The emphasis on damage and not on accuracy.” So we’re seeing the special intent
on full display. And really, I have to say, if this is not special intent to
commit genocide, I really don’t know what is.’

The parallels with British colonial genocide of Aboriginal people in Australia
are striking.

‘The analysis of the frontier genocides waged against the Aboriginal Tasmanians,
the Yuki of California, and the Herero of Namibia reveals a surprisingly
congruent pattern despite the fact that the cases took place on different
continents, under different regimes, and in different periods. The pattern
divides into three phases. Colonists initiate the first by invasion. Economic
and political
frictions then develop between the two groups as they struggle for limited
resources and political power. Unable to compete with the invaders’ technology,
arms, and wealth, the indigenous people find their economy fundamentally
threatened and basic political rights denied under the settler regime.
Aboriginal people begin the second phase by attacking settlers and their
property in an attempt to regain access to economic resources, reclaim lost
land, protect political rights, or exact revenge. Settlers and their government
then retaliate, but cannot quickly defeat the indigenous peoples’ guerilla
insurgency. Out of frustration and expediency, the invaders choose a “final
solution” to the military conflict.

During and after the genocidal military campaign, the settlers’ government
initiates the final phase by incarcerating Aboriginal people in camps that bear
comparison with the Soviet gulag. In these reservations, settler governments
continue genocidal policy though a varying combination of malnutrition,
insufficient protection from the elements, inadequate medical care, overwork,
unsanitary conditions, and violence.’

REFERENDUM DAY


I go to vote on stolen land
while across the world
another criminal mob of European settlers
slaughter mercilessly again
though she’s married to another man
stolen because the Beast says they can
the myth of empty land common to thieves
convenient nullification of the locals
for demonisation and extermination
if they didn’t have Western agriculture
how could they deserve their native home
I sing Treaty Yeah and Kev Carmody
Midnight Oil and Paul Kelly
I sing of never ceded sovereignty
as on a British constitution
there’s no end to the colony
a no means yes and yes means no
rubber stamps for white supremacy
while Albo cheerleads Israel’s bone harvest
holding his sickening white pride high
caring only for colonizers’ tears
yet the chant of Jimmy Blacksmith
rings in my ears
this sordid settler colonialism
when never again meant never again
yet again there’s genocide
usual suspects backpatting cheerfully
the latest vicious lawnmower regime.

PROTESTS ASSIST ISRAELI STATE PROPAGANDA

Guest Post by Yoav Litvin

Benjamin Netanyahu, in collaboration with Kahanist Itamar Ben-Gvir and a cohort
of other fascists, has been executing a judicial coup which guts so-called
Israeli democratic institutions and threatens liberal reforms.

Many Israelis are infuriated. They’ve always viewed Israel as either part of
Europe or the United States’ 51st state. “The only democracy in the Middle
East”, a “villa in the jungle” with its fancy boutiques, exquisite espresso
bars, glitzy shopping malls, wild/sexy nightlife and world-class wineries and
restaurants. Most liberal Zionists see themselves closer to “civilized” white
Christian Europeans rather than their “primitive” Brown Muslim Arab neighbors.

Liberal Zionism promotes the notion of a left-to-right spectrum within Israel.
Yet the differences between the extremes are merely tactical and cosmetic,
maintaining an illusion of a humane society with a healthy democratic discourse.
“Left-wing” and “Liberal” Zionist parties engage in civil liberties for members
of the privileged class yet dare not address the nature of Zionism, whose
adherents have terrorized Indigenous Palestinians for over seven decades.

For liberal Zionists, without LGBTQ rights and buses on Saturday, Israel would
simply become another Middle Eastern theocracy in which women are rendered
inferior and prayer is mandatory in schools. In contrast, they see themselves as
trailblazing feminists who believe women should have every right men have, like
the right to enlist into military combat units and kill Palestinians. And what
about Palestinians, you ask? It’s complicated, they respond.


THE “POGROM” AND B’TSELEM

As with every fledgling Israeli regime, the current government seeks to market
itself to the Israeli public, distracting from its own corruptions and
inadequacies by massacring Palestinians and stealing their resources. However,
in contrast to recent administrations, Netanyahu and his cabal now
unapologetically incite vigilante and mass civilian settler violence in addition
to advocating for military incursions, mass arrests, bombings of innocent
civilians, sieges and assassinations.

On the night of February 26-27, supposedly in response to the shooting of two
Israeli settlers, hundreds of settlers rampaged through the Palestinian town of
Huwara, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, killing, torching and wounding.

Israeli liberal society was outraged. Hagai El-Ad, Executive Director of
B’Tselem, the Israeli Human Rights Organization said in response:

> “As a Jewish person, we know what a pogrom is. Because Jews have been on the
> receiving end of pogroms for too many years. Now, after what happened here on
> Sunday night, there are hundreds of Jewish settlers that know what a pogrom is
> not from the side of suffering under it but from the side that has committed
> that atrocity.”

By comparing the events in Huwara to a “pogrom”, a word closely linked to
massacres of Jewish people in Russia or eastern Europe in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, El-Ad continues B’Tselem’s unfortunate framing of Zionism
as a Jewish project enforcing “Jewish supremacy”, rather than the correct
identification of genocidal western settler colonialism and white supremacy.

It is common practice for Zionist propagandists to promote the anti-Semitic
fallacy that Israel is a Jewish state which represents Judaism and thus all
Jews. Spearheaded by Netanyahu in 2018, Israel’s The Nation State of the Jewish
People law enshrines this canard as an addition to Israel’s Basic Laws, which
operate as a stand-in for a non-existent Constitution, pursuant to Israel having
never declared its borders thus enabling continuous theft of Palestinian land.
The fallacy serves as the cornerstone of Zionist propaganda (aka Hasbara),
galvanizing support for Israel’s settler colonialism and attack of anti-colonial
resistance.

Clearly, Zionists would much rather engage with accusations of carrying out a
“pogrom” than a “white supremacist settler rampage”, ironically despite the
obvious white supremacist nature of the former. Deploying its police, military
and settler brownshirts, Israel has always been engaged in settler violence
aimed at expansionism and resource acquisition. In fact, Zionism is a racist and
settler colonialist movement, which opportunistically coopts aspects of Judaism
in an attempt to justify its criminal practices against the Palestinian people.
Zionism is based on a distinctly secular outlook, which embraces aggression and
expansion as an acceptable response to trauma and denounces the traditional
Jewish pacifist approach of viewing hardship as divine punishment for sins.
Zionist strategists manipulate the past traumas Jews have endured to gain
support for aggressive criminal policies that disenfranchise and evict
Palestinians.

Unfortunately, El-Ad’s comments are in line with this Zionist tradition.
However, the framing of Zionism as “white”, not “Jewish” enables and strengthens
the formation of coalitions between all those opposed to settler colonialism and
white supremacy and hinders Zionist attempts at sabotage by hurling cynical
accusations of “anti-Semitism”.

THE ISRAELI FLAG AND ZIONIST PROPAGANDA

The ultimate propaganda goal of any nationalistic apparatus is to fuse the
perception of “self” with that of “nation” into a cohesive identity that is
loyal to the ruling class. Indeed, one symbol has reemerged in nearly every
image and video from these liberal Zionist protests throughout Israel and the
West Bank – the Israeli flag. These protests have become a nationalistic
chest-beating contest in which protesters compete with Israeli police, and
politicians – Netanyahu and his fascistic brethren – over loyalty to Israel and
Zionism. Hence, it’s clear these protests are no real threat to the apartheid
regime. Yet, they could pose a threat to Netanyahu’s solidification of the
Nation-State law within the Basic Laws as he seeks to extinguish the power of
courts to change or remove it, along with protecting him from corruption
charges.

Meanwhile, millions of Indigenous Palestinians in Israel, the Occupied
Territories and diaspora are excluded from this reactionary discourse. For them,
the Israeli flag represents their catastrophe and can never symbolize justice.

Indeed, Zionist propagandists have recognized the immense propaganda potential
in these protests. They can claim Zionism is indisputable within Israel, and is
fundamentally liberal, even democratic, as it supposedly allows a range of
opinions and tolerates opposition.

Not only have these protests failed to threaten the Israeli regime, Netanyahu
and his government have unapologetically and confidently deployed police tactics
against protesters normally reserved for Palestinians and occasionally
ultra-orthodox Jews. These tactics, including flash grenades and skunk water are
small potatoes for Palestinians who are murdered every day by Israeli occupation
forces, including women, children, elderly folk and members of the press.

Further, amidst worldwide condemnations, including within Israel’s political
spectrum, some Israeli politicians have maintained their emboldened inflammatory
rhetoric. Betzalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister with sweeping civilian
powers in the West Bank said the town of Huwara “should be erased”, yet not by
civilians, but by the military.

ALTERNATIVE PROTEST

The horrific oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian people will not
cease as a result of actions by the Israeli/Zionist public unless Palestinian
demands for justice are supported first and foremost. As with the 2011 social
justice protests, these recent demonstrations reflect discontent from a class of
Israeli society afraid to lose certain privileges. Inevitably, Palestinians will
continue to suffer apartheid and genocide until the international community
intervenes.

By contrast, the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement has wisely
adopted a strict anti-Zionist, anti-racist platform grounded in human rights.
Built on clear understanding of oppressive systems, intersectional resistance
and the path to liberation, BDS incorporates lessons of past anti-colonial
movements, dismantling fictitious, divisive political narratives of white
supremacy, imperialism, racism and patriarchy. The recognition that various
oppressed peoples have common enemies serves to reinforce solidarity and
cooperation between them, enhancing the growth and success of principled
grassroots movements worldwide.
