Racism and Poetry

"-Killing Jews: Not Racist.
-Holding Gilad Shalit captive, daily launches of rockets at civilian targets, Ham-ASS funding and deploying suicide bombers?: Not Racist.
-Poem about Killing Jews: Racist."

That's what Angel writes here in a piece entitled ‘Ahmed’s Bunker’.
She does a concise and surgically precise job analyzing a censored poem by a 10 year old and the fallout from the Arab sector.

Here is the poem in question by a very wise 10 year old:

Ahmed’s bunker has surprises galore: Grenades, rifles are hung on the wall. Ahmed is planning another bomb!
What a bunker Ahmed has, who causes daily harm.

Ahmed knows how to make a bomb. Ahmed is Ahmed, that’s who he is, so don’t forget to be careful of him.

We get blasted while they have a blast!
Ahmed and his friends could be wealthy and sunny, if only they wouldn’t buy rockets with all their money.


Truth is truth! Period.
Stand up and face this war of ideology!
