A Performance

Gush Shalom ad, Ha’aretz, 11 December 2009

The curtain goes up.
Everyone knows
His role.
The settlers wrangle
With the inspectors
During the day
And burn
Palestinian cars
During the night.
Netanyahu sends the photos
To Washington:
“Look how hard it is!”
And behind the scene:
No freeze.
Building in the settlements
Goes on.
No negotiation.
The government has
Nothing to offer.
Only the march
Towards disaster
Continues.
