Ma Khafiya Aatham – 29th October 2025

Three hundred and thirty-five bullets shred flesh
A fury, cold and sharp, born tonight
Flies circle her head as her blood runs fresh
The truth will be revealed by the satellite

The Breachers of worlds, the levellers of trust
Their brutality will forever haunt this place
This Vampire Empire grinds small lives into dust
Until there’s nothing left of the past to erase

Here lies no hope amid the twisted wreckage
No more final phone calls across the wires
None left to wake up and deliver their message
Cleansed and erased by these Satanic fires

Ma Khafiya Aatham – The tip of the iceberg. The Breachers – the Israeli 52nd Armoured Battalion. The Vampire Empire – the Israeli 401st Brigade. Satan – Israel.

  1. Thank you for writing and posting this. It seems that nothing is enough – not tears, not horror, certainly not ‘diplomacy’ (such as it is); and yet, turning away and staying silent is certainly no good, either. I find it incredibly hard to write about, though I manage it sometimes. I’m glad when others can. The extreme terms in which you’ve couched this are, sadly, no hyperbole.

  2. For 75 years, Israel exercised Hasbara (explaining) carefully provided Jews in the diaspora with pretty pictures of bronzed kibbutzniks so they had stories to justify the existence and conduct of Israel. Terrible as the consequences have been, October 7th was calculated to bring the naked truth of Zionism into the open by the hubristic ultra right wing government. They in turn, gambled that they could get away with it as they have in so many smaller wars against the Palestinians, but I think people, Jews, governments, are recognising that they have been co-opted (not to mention fleeced) into supporting a war that has no justification, a theft, a genocide, a travesty, an inhumanity. Will the tide turn against Israel, one can only hope – oh, and write poems like this and consider them coffin nails in the nailing of Israel.
