In Australia the bald-headed Fascist
leading the opposition preaches hate
against the Aboriginals and Palestinians,
declares his adoration for Apartheid Israel,
standing before the Israeli flag he promises
to tear down the indigenous flags of the land,
to support genocide and ethnic cleansing,
and, perhaps, himself commit genocide
and ethnic cleansing. He is a colonist
standing on stolen and blood-soaked soil
who doesn't hide his sympathy and feelings
of solidarity towards other colonists
standing on stolen and blood-soaked soil.
No, he embraces it, he wallows in it.
Fifty years ago he would have said
the same things about Apartheid South
Africa and Rhodesia, felt the same
primal unity with the pink faces
lording over black faces, extinguishing
the flame burning in the oppressed' eyes.
And now he sees in Aboriginals Palestinians
and in Palestinians Aboriginals.
His is the hate and fear of the thief
against the rightful owner, fear
against what other indigenous struggles
will mean for the natives on whose necks
he tries to stand waving his Israeli flag,
the flag of all the colonists in the world.
In all his white colonist's privilege
he is afraid, terrified, a scared man
cowering in his own hate.
