Palestinians are bombed, starved, herded,
out of Northern Gaza. The Plan is to cut
the Strip down further, have all residents
take their moveable belongings
to the South where they will float between
tents, before builders come driving bull-
dozers and cranes, and cement trucks,
driving bricklayers to make new Israeli
homes on even more occupied land. This
cannot be stopped unless bombs are
no longer delivered to the executioners,
unless the Plan’s directors are caught
and tried, until even more life’s
spilt during the ongoing genocide.
