Israel Strikes Back

Dwarfed and cornered a nation defending
Offensive maneuver, North and South sending
Few other people will fight more resolute
Patience they showed, terror they now refute

A mouse surrounded by dozens of cats
This mouse does not cower under rocket attacks
Centuries of hate for only hates sake
Are Arab’s so blind, their lives are at stake?

Iran supports from the North Hezbelloh
Southern foe tunnels, mimicing tarantula
Springing from hole to kill and to snatch
Soldiers of Israel surprise is no match

International zone between bomb strapped Palestine
A wall was built, the terror Israel confined
The American President, convinced her to return
Ground she held, defending like giant burm

Arafat had said if land was given back
No Israeli would die, due to ball-bearing flack
The promise was denied by Ariel Sharon
He believed any softening, brings death alone

Give up they did, this buffering zone
Back to people, anger and death their tone
Electing Hamas to lead them forward
Nothing to gain through murder as coward

The suicide attackers ran bloody once more
Café coffee and blood splattered to floor
The rockets continue after Israel tried peace
Now their plan is diplomacy with digging teeth

Diplomacy against terror, is talking about talk
No more chances, now Jews walk the walk
It appears there is little the radicals understand
Except real consequences, military’s heavy hand

The world has agreed, the Jews have their right
To defend themself, now an 8 day fight
It may continue for weeks, until terror is rid
When Israel will sleep with no missile overhead

Israel is fighting with one hand behind their back
If Iran begins to meddle, it’s audios jack
Stopping a larger war it is not too late
Ahmadinejad is quiet, Tehran’s leveling will abate

Which do we want, Tehran as terrorist or free
The university students have marched and see
Tehran would have a chance at liberation and votes
We would read more speeches of Natan Sharansky quotes

While Sharansky may be Jewish and Tehran’s students Arab
They are too smart to believe their Presidents dull scarab
His talk is tough and appears not concerned
But neither was Khadafi until his house bombed and confirmed

Marching Democracy delivers peace to world
Text books will show, liberty, freedom in word
There are a few who read history and reflect
Look no further than Reagan I would suspect

Peace through strength was Ronald’s success
History if repeated, would show the same progress
Our strength has a cost, but conflict avoided
Enemies will cower and not life a sword

Israel has already seen the benefits of strength
For years they had force muliplying breadth
They have avoided themselves a second extermination
By scaring those who would kill with little persuasion

They want Hamas and Hezbollah to see
This is what happens if we are not let be
Military might and diplomatic discussion
Wrapped up tight in bomb shell explosion

Israel sees all enemies as no different
Then hesitate not to unleash deterrent
Provoked into position, action was taken
Hezbollah wants to fight and gravely mistaken

The choice is theirs to release soldiers unmolested
Decimation they see, annihilation is then wretched
Their anticipation of Israel’s weakness mistook
Hezbollah will know peace, after rewriting their playbook
