This Week's Message 

WATER

In the Tene-Omrim settlement
They quarrel about
The division of
Bathing hours
At the swimming pool

In the Karwat-Bani-Zeid village
There is no swimming pool.
There is hardly any water
In the pipes.

Israel takes for itself
Most of the water
In the West Bank.
For the millions of Palestinians,
Only drops are left.
