After six years
Ehud Barak remembers
The historic peace offer
Of the 22 countries

OLIVE HARVEST
Again and again the settlers
Attack Palestinian olive pickers.
The army and police look on

Is Akko Burning?
THROUGHOUT ITS thousands of years of history, Akko has never been an Israelite town.

CO-EXISTENCE?
In the mixed towns,
Disaster is looming.
The Akko pogrom gangs
Are but the tip of an iceberg
Of incitement, hatred and discrimination
Against the Arabs.

A Fairy Tale
Recently I was asked by the German Else-Laker-Schueler-Gesellschaft, which commemorates the German-Jewish-Israeli poetess, to describe how peace would look like. On the eve of Yom Kippur, the day... • 11/10/08

WALL STREET
All our governments
Have assumed that
As long as the American
Support us,
We can ignore the whole world
And oppress the Palestinians.
But no Empire lasts forever

Deeds, please
Ehud Olmert
During his last
Days in office
Offers good and true ideas
When he has no chance
Of implementing them
Tzipi Livni
Can, right at the beginning
Walk towards peace
Not by words
But by deeds • More...

Total loss
It was trivial greed
Which caused Olmert
To lose his whole world.
The greed for settlements
May cause the State of Israel
To lose more than that: itself. • More...
