A century ago in Jerusalem’s Old City
the Arabs revealed their conspiracy theory
about the nature of the emboldened Zionists
presenting themselves as irritating pests.
“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
The Arabs pushed the British for a Status Quo Agreement
their arguments ahistorical, with voices loud and vehement,
advancing for removal of the “appurtenance of Jewish worship”
which even included allowing elderly Jews to sit.
“Good Greif! Good Grief!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
During 1928 Yom Kippur services at the Wailing Wall,
Jews brought screens and siddurs with unmitigated gall.
The Arabs called the British police and expressed their views
to destroy the mechitza and attack the Jews.
“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
To extinguish the common holy site’s enflamed embers,
the British issued a White Paper that November.
In the hopes of avoiding another injurious atrocity,
the British declared the Wailing Wall exclusive Moslem property.
“Good Grief! Good Grief!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
Soon thereafter, the Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin
erected a minaret next to the Kotel, complete with muzzein
to call for Islamic prayers when Jews would gather
disturbing Jewish prayers with loud incomprehensible blather.
“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
The Arabs made it clear to the whole world explaining,
that the Jews could only use the western wall for wailing.
Jewish prayers at the site was dangerous incitement
and the entire world should coalesce to present a formal indictment.
“Good Grief! Good Grief!
Those Jews brought a bench! The Jews brought a bench!”
In August 1929, Arabs spread a series of vicious rumors
which fed Islamic extremists like cancerous tumors
that Jews were killing Arabs and ascending the al Aqsa Compound
desecrating the holy site and burning the mosques to the ground.
“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Kill the Jews! Kill the Jews!”
The violence spread in Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed
The Arab riots and butchery left sixty-seven Jews dead.
The British concluded that Hebron should be purely Moslem
And removed all the Jews in hopes of ameliorating the problem.
“Good Grief! Good Grief!
Expel the Jews! Expel the Jews!”
The denial of Jew’s history and human rights is not new;
the last hundred years added an Islamist point of view,
particularly because the Balfour Declaration made the Arabs skittish
who demanded anti-Jewish edicts from the Palestine-ruling British.
Imagine a government outlawing a mench-on-a-bench!
The Jew-hatred involved had a terrible stench.
The Muslim quest for the Promised Land to have Islamic purity
Coopted the western world to consider anti-Semitic policies.
Allahu Akbar and Good Grief. The Jews brought a bench.
