STOP THE RIVER OF BLOOD!
By Ada Aharoni
Stop the river of blood in Gaza and Sderot
Before it becomes an ocean!
These two small round ripples
In the middle of the flowing
River of blood
Are the cute smiles
Of the two one year old babies
Mona from Gaza
And Galia from Sderot –
As they smiled to their mothers
Who lovingly laid them to sleep
Last night
Before
They were shot!
Hurry, in the name of humanity
Stop the flowing river of blood
In Gaza and Sderot
With a strong dam
Of humanity
Before it becomes
An ocean of blood!

Dear Ada,
Your poems are the most inspired practical nonkilling arts creations to stop killing in Israel/Palestine. Clearer than any politician’s speeches. May they reach every heart and hand.
Love,
