Turning "collateral damage" into war crime
"Our bombing of Gaza is moral"
Cried the Prime Minister
As if he cares.
"We are doing all
To avoid harm to civilians".
So he said.
Well, perhaps we try.
But when you drop
450 bombs in half an hour
Weighing a whole tonne each
In a densely populated urban area
There is no way to avoid
Killing women and children,
In far greater numbers
Than the Israelis
Killed by Hamas rockets.
Going on with such bombings
Day after day
Turns "collateral damage"
Into war crime.
Enough is enough
And more than enough.
It is high time
To stop this madness.
