Bloody Hands

from Gush Shalom

The war must end

With an exchange of POWs:

The fighter Gilad Shalit

Must return from Gaza

And the Palestinian fighters

From Israel.

“Blood on their hands”

Cannot be an obstacle anymore:

Our generals and ministers

Have on their hands

The blood of Palestinian children.

Our bloody-handed government

Must release the

Bloody-handed prisoners

For the sake of Gilad Shalit –

The only one with

No blood on his hands.
