They tell us |
We are traitors. |
They tell us |
We are destroyers of Israel. |
They tell us |
We are criminals. |
But we tell them: |
The criminals are those |
Who started this |
Criminal and unnecessary war! |
An unnecessary war |
Because it was possible |
To stop the Qassams |
By the government |
stopping the blockade |
On the million and a half |
Inhabitants of Gaza. |
A criminal war |
Because, on top of everything else |
It is openly and shamelessly |
Part of Ehud Barak’s and Tzipi Livni’s |
Election campaign |
I accuse Ehud Barak |
Of exploiting the IDF soldiers |
In order to get more Knesset seats. |
I accuse Tzipi Livni |
Of advocating mutual slaughter |
In order to become |
Prime Minister. |
I accuse Ehud Olmert |
Of trying to cover up |
Rot and corruption |
With a disastrous war. |
I call upon them |
From this tribune, |
On behalf of this |
Courageous and decent audience: |
Stop the war at once! |
Stop shedding the blood of |
Our soldiers and civilians for nothing! |
Stop shedding the blood |
Of the inhabitants of Gaza! |
The ground invasion |
Will cause |
An additional disaster, |
A mutual massacre |
And even more |
Terrible war crimes! |
At the end of this war |
No general |
Will be able to set foot |
On European soil |
Without fear of being arrested |
For war crimes. |
We are told |
That there is no alternative. |
Not true!!! |
A cease-fire is possible even now, |
Yes, this very minute, |
If we agree to lift |
The murderous siege, |
If we allow the Gaza people |
To live in dignity, |
If we talk with Hamas. |
I wish to address |
The people of the South, |
The people of Sderot, |
Ashdod and Beersheba: |
We know your anguish – |
Even though we don’t live with you, |
We know well. |
But we also know |
That this war |
Will not change your situation. |
The politicians exploit you, |
The politicians conduct a war |
On your back. |
You too know that! |
I call upon |
Olmert, Barak and Livni: |
Do not send the soldiers into the Strip! |
All three of you will be accused of war crimes! |
All three of you will pay the price! |
The masses in Israel |
Saluting you now |
Will punish you tomorrow. |
That happened in the |
Second Lebanon War |
That will happen |
Again this time! |
And YOU who are standing here, |
Women and men, |
Young and old, |
Jews and Arabs, |
YOU who have protested |
Against this horrible war |
From the first day, |
From the first minute, |
Isolated and cursed – |
YOU are the real heroes! |
You can be proud, |
Very proud, |
Because you stand in the middle |
Of a hurricane of hysteria and ignorance, |
And are not swept away by it! |
You are retaining your sanity, |
Not only at home |
But here, in the street! |
Millions around the world see you, |
Salute you, |
Salute each one of you. |
As a human being, |
As an Israeli, |
As a seeker of peace, |
I am proud |
To be here today. |
