Israel is our ally,
Not our 51st state
But you might think it is
As highly as it rates
It’s one nation, among many
In the Middle East
Although it’s highly favored
To say the very least

It’s a bully tactic
That truly is pathetic
Criticize Israel
And you’re labeled anit-Semetic
Semites can be found
Throughout the Middle East
It’s not limited to them
Though they have added yeast

But we’re made to believe it is
By supporters of the Jewish State
So those who are critical of them
Are accused of blatant hate
But there’s plenty to criticize
If you care to debate
Though the label you’ll be given
Gives it added weight

Some view Israel as she is
With blemishes and all
And others hide her imperfections
While praying at the Wall
Though constructive criticism
Just might be the cure
For everything that ails her
And causes her endless war
