On October 7th, Hamas broke the cease fire
Raping and killing innocents, clearly their desire
They celebrated destruction, as those flames of hate grew higher

Music festival kids, they proudly shot and killed
Raped a few and filmed it, clearly they were thrilled
Peace activists murdered, it won’t be easy to rebuild

They kidnapped three year old kids , and the elderly
They’ve now let one third die, for all the world to see
They convinced half the world, this is how you fight to be free

If you’re gay in a Muslim country, they throw you off the roof
We don’t like to hear it, but damn it, it’s the truth
“Queers for Palestine”’s a slogan of misguided youth

Hamas took foreign aid, built tunnels underground
Hides behind their own people, don’t care who is mowed down
Innocent Israelis die, Gaza celebrates, how’d ya like that sound?

Let’s talk about the double standard, when Israel you condemn
While Gaza schools teach hatred and how to cause mayhem
Their charter proudly states ‘death to Jews, all of them!”

49 Muslim countries, for the Jews, only one
How many Palestinians have those 49 taken in? the answer is none
A sad viscous cycle, we’re all stuck watching reruns

And no we are not happy with Palestinians dead
Israelis don’t love this violence, despite what you’ve read
Netanyahu has got to go, its true, but that won’t put this all to bed

Both sides need better leaders, sadly that is true
But don’t tell me this is all Israel’s fault, what would your country do?
If New Jersey attacked New York, would New Yorkers just sit and stew?

Anti-Semitism is rising, rising once more
Need I remind you its never Israel who starts these wars
you chant ‘river to the sea’ its genocide against Jews you’re calling for

Jews and Arabs both live in Israel, its not an apartheid state
College kids don’t take the time to get their facts straight
We were happy to give half of Israel to the Arabs in 1948

Opportunities on both sides missed, but no moderate Arab voices
On Oct 7 and Sept 11, we saw the Arab world rejoices
We’ve got to learn to live together, there’s really no other choices
