This has been rattling around in my brain and I had to get it out.

It would be dark and horrible and ironic if,
my people,
who spent 2000 years being dehumanized, brutalized and dispossessed,
and in the aftermath of WW2 where 6 million of us were murdered,  
with an jingoistic ache (and frankly, understandable) need to feel safe, 
created our own state, 
and so displaced 700,000 Palestinians,
and killed 15,000 Palestinians 
and spent the next seven decades dehumanizing and brutalizing and dispossessing the Palestinians,
and suddenly faced with a day when 1600 Jews killed in a heinous way,
and spent the next only-god-knows-how-long carrying out a genocide on the Palestinians,
and Israel’s allies and the US cheered them on,
while the rest of the world looked on in horror,
til there was a breaking point,
and WW3 was unleashed,
bringing new horrors,
and the destruction of the state of Israel.
