Listen to a reading by Tim Foley:

❖

Nowhere does this AP article on a Palestinian-American's family casualties in Gaza name Israel as the one dropping the bombs. "the blast at a hospital", "a bomb hit her family's home"… Bombs just drop from the sky & spray shrapnel & flatten homes.https://t.co/jOqKCtcBdj pic.twitter.com/C6WVujucRJ

❖

It’s a little bit bomby in Gaza today,
at least that’s what the news men say.

Israeli victims were “murdered” and “killed”
and all mourn the innocent blood that was spilled,

but in Gaza explosives just fall from the air
and nobody mentions who launched them, from where.

They talk about “blasts” and how buildings were “hit”.
Who blasted and hit them? Eh, who gives a shit.

It’s a little bit bomby outside, that’s the weather.
Put up your umbrellas, dudes. Get it together.
