On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to international lawyers and activists.

I know how painful it is to feel

like your career is worthless

and that what you fight for is just a myth.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to the United Nations,

which announces resolutions

it can’t enforce,

like the right to resist occupation,

making it look like a beast with erectile dysfunction.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to human rights organizations.

It’s embarrassing, I know,

when all your efforts are in vain.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to terrorist groups.

Nobody can wrestle its hand down.

It’s been terrorizing people

for more than 75 years now.

It’s the oldest expert; you’re just babies.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to every vegetarian.

I understand it’s your worst nightmare

to see the blood and ripped flesh of animals,

especially ‘human animals.’

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to God.

Now you’re not only angry,

brandishing guns in both hands,

but also a genocide denier

and killer of children.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to those who

lived on its land

when it was created.

Both peoples had God, history and a holy book.

But the Israelis were civilized;

you were not.

And the one who conquered the land won.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to Palestinians.

Reports confirm Golda was drunk

when she said she was Palestinian before 1948,

and there was no such thing as Palestine.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to Palestinian medics.

You’re the angels of mercy.

But it doesn’t protect any type of angels.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to every American.

Working two jobs must be hard.

and it’s consuming your tax money

for its own bloody gain.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to every European.

It walks all over your governments

and finds it humorous.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to antiquity.

It takes pleasure in ruining you.

Get used to it.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to the truth.

It betrays you repeatedly.

To Israel, the truth is a story

that it shapes at will.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to civilization.

It always says it walks in your shoes.

But it really just wants to conquer more land.

On behalf of Israel, I apologize to history.

It abuses you so much.

It pretends that it’s the only one

who has a legacy on this land

and that’s reason enough to colonize.

On behalf of Israel,

I apologize to the ozone layer.

We know we are widening your holes.

But it’s no bigger than the empty void

that is our collective conscience.
