lyrics

You can’t call people animals
You can’t call people children of darkness
You can’t constantly dehumanize
And then play the victim

You can’t steal people’s homes
You can’t steal people’s livelihoods
You can’t steal people’s culture
And then play the victim

Insidious, the way it works
Tragic, the loss they’ve suffered
Historically, they’ve been demonized
But now they turn that hate on others

You can’t receive more funding
You can’t receive more weapons
You can’t displace millions
And then play the victim

Nobody in their right mind denies
The horrors of the Jewish Holocaust
But now we see a modern state
Founded, built on hate

You can’t commit war crimes
You can’t slaughter thousands
You can’t ignore the cries of your own
And then play the victim

The power dynamic between two cultures
One with endless foreign aid
An entire country waged war upon a city
Ending life for those it forced to live there

Israel has more power
Money, weapons, influence
An entire international lobby
To whitewash its crimes

Day after day, week after week
War crime after war crime
Leaders refuse to stand against them
For fear of being smeared anti-Semitic

Israel demonizes anyone
Who disagrees with its policies
Leaning farther right, extreme
More violent each passing hour

Nobody in their right mind denies
The horrors of the Jewish Holocaust
But now we see a modern state
Founded, built on hate
