Ahed Tamini

16 years old
A Palestinian girl
Who apparently
Slapped an Israeli soldier
And meant it actually
Under the Israeli boot
Morning noon and night
And not prepared to take their shit
Because it isn’t right

They intimidate and spread their fear
Gang up and they are
Upsetting people living there
Where their lives they scar
Its Palestinian land
They are on
invaded by Israel
Unfathomable behaviour
For sure beyond the pale

Many many children
Have been picked up and now be
In detention camps
They are tortured
But all the world can’t see
Moved about from camp to camp
And clearly frightened by
The vile regime which is Israel
And who knows if some die

The jewish orthodoxy
Is adament that they
Cant abide the zionists
And want to make them pay
They do not accept religion
Just nationalistic law
They do not have legitamacy
And of course they do ignore

Anybody’s right to live
Where infact they were born
And subject to such horror
And constantly they warn
Them causing them much chaos
In their daily life
And when ofcourse they do not conform
They are really given strife

And expected just to take it
In perpetuity
The road block all the constant threats
There is no stability
They have the power and abuse it
As arrogant as hell
And nobody dares say a word
Or they face a spell

In one of the Israeli,
Detention camps
Locked away from light
And goodness knows what happens
When everyday is night
Children 700 in some dingy cell
Supported by the cowards in power
Creating this vile hell

Its all outside the torah
And backed by those who feel
The jewish state of Israel
Is altogether real
But actually the jewish race
Abhor the state and say
King Soloman and the Torah
And the prophecy did say
Jews should never have a state
Where they denigrate Gods name
And making Palestinians live
Like this they are to blame

And so the children take
it upon themselves to answer back
To question and to have a go
They take a lot of flack
All their young lives under
The boot of israel
You cant walk there you cant walk here
It is an angry trail

They live on and they walk on
Everywhere they go
Restrained and under the influence
They truly have to know
There is no freedom in their life
With Israel on their case
And to counteract in any way
The Israels in their face

And that is what has happened here
A teenager she be
Who Told the soldiers what she thought
And where they ought to be
It was not the crime of the century
But Israel thinks it so
And in the middle of the night
They invaded and now know

She is incarcerated arrested for her crime
In Ha Sharon prison just another sign
That Israel cannot stomach being seen to lack
and clearly she will be punished for carrying her attack
To soldiers stationed near her
Frustration took its toll
Everybodys wound up like a spring
And the control

Clearly gets to people
Every single day
Israel flexes its muscles
And you must get out of their way
And its where you and your family live
Its clearly wrong but they
Have to grin and bear it
In the cold light of each day

So we must appeal to the Zionists
To let this young girl free
Holed up from the west bank
And treated so badly
She needs a helping hand from us
The true youth of today
Should not be subject to such rules
Its simply not the way
