Yes to Peace, No to Terror
Written in 2006 during the war with Hezbollah in Lebanon and released on United Kingdom of Racism the following year. It argues against the double standards he saw in the coverage: rockets landing on Israeli towns and soldiers kidnapped, met with calls for restraint rather than solidarity.
I’ve had it up to here with foolish politicians
Self-righteous pig dem in Israel’s opposition
And don’t listen to what no journalist will tell ya
They don’t have to spend their night in no bomb shelter
Yo they talk about proportion, say proceed with caution
While Israel be facing all this terrorist extortion
Yo Ming Campbell, Red Ken, how would you like it
If the life of you and your family was blighted
With Katusha rockets, fallin at your gate
Would you then want the UK to show some restraint?
There’s so much hate, it just don’t make sense
All Israel wants to do is act in self-defence
But nah, the Jews gotta act better than we
They shouldn’t even be there in the first place you see
It was a big mistake to give them a state
60 years since the Shoah but man restart the hate
Hook
Yo man dem gotta stop, all the double standards
They don’t understand the terrorists, to whom they pander
When man blow up the Tube, they say it’s bad on the news
But no one gives a toss when man are killin the Jews
You got to make up your mind, now is the time
If you support democracy then support Israel’s line
But if you support terror and indiscriminate killin
Then portray Hezbollah as the innocent victim
Why does Israel get so much hate, so much more focus
Than any other state, like it’s broken?
Israel’s always wrong, and it’s never right
They ignore the attempts to protect civilian life
They ignore the strife, of bereaved mothers’ plight
They ignore the fact, that we don’t wanna fight
World listen: here diplomacy has no function
Hezbollah’s entire aim is Israel’s destruction
