A Dream Called Israel Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

A Dream Called Israel (Odd Sonnet)
The Jews of Israel or rather, the settlers suffer from
a common psychosis that makes them quite on edge
they believe everyone is about to kill them, not
an uncommon assumption, but their deep insecurities
is an inheritance from the holocaust in Europe and not
in any Muslim countries. True when Israel was declared
a state Egypt Jews there were expulsed, which I think
was a mistake, it is worth noticing that the Jews of Iran
are well respected there.

One hopes a great politician will appear in Israel, one who
can steer the Jews back from the abyss, find peace among
its neighbours, see themselves as members of the middle
eastern sphere and take it from there.
