Hanukkah Executive Order

White House Resident issues order defining anti-Israeli apartheid activity as anti-Semitism, and encouraging campuses to ban discussion of Palestinian rights. The order asserts that “claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” denies Jews their self-determination. In other words, anyone has the right to self-determine by obliterating their neighbors. Whose land they have taken. And the beat-down goes on…

Just in time for Hanukkah
You’ve opened Pandora
Your out of tune harmonica
Don’t sound like the Torah
Telling every Jew they must love a state
Built on ethnic cleansing
You’re ordering hate

And when you ban free speech
Of those fighting for human rights
Here’s the real news
You’re not helping Jews
You’re in bed with Israel’s apartheid
Whites reign supreme
In your white house regime
It reminds us of days long ago

Calling Israel’s victims anti-Semitic
You would like to outlaw every last critic
Since your Muslim ban
The displaced you berate
You reject the refugees and silence debate

And while you so order
The voices of hatred you feed
White nationalism
Religious fascism
Remind us of days long ago
Oppression you’re aidin’
Your order is fadin’
We’re gonna rejoice when you go

Air bnb – Don’t Go There


Air bnb listed illegal settlement rentals in occupied territories as being in Israel. They wisely acceded to public pressure to remove them, then unwisely rescinded the removal and put them up again. They are disguised as legal – don’t be fooled and do cancel your membership, as have 20,000 others, and counting. #boycottairbnb

Young man, likes to travel around
Woman, finds herself outward bound
Buyer beware ‘cause you’re in a new town
That was built on stolen hillsides

Travelers, there’s a place you can go
If you don’t mind dispossessing some folks
You can pretend that you don’t even know
You are part of ethnic cleansing

It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
You can help to displace
And erase every trace
Of indigenous families
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
Israel’s listings you see
Include the territories
So just don’t go there, traveler please

Traveler, are you listening to me
I said tourist who do you want to be
Sightseer don’t fall for their schemes
Yes you got to know this one thing
Israel can’t do it all by itself
They need suckers, so put your mind on the shelf
And just go there to the Air BnB
And demolish human rights there
Cho

It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
You can hang out with all of the IDF troops
And be one of apartheid’s dupes
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s fun to stay at the Air BnB
It’s the wild wild west
You’ll be an illegal guest
So just don’t go there, traveler please
