Oy Vey Jerusalem!

In Tel Aviv, alarm and awe
Result from memory of Iran
When revolution downed the Shah
And true believers from then on
Have threatened to a fare-thee-well
The massacre of Israel.

In Egypt in particular,
Israelis ask what could be good
If votes for parliament confer
Seats to the Muslim Brotherhood,
Known for deep-rooted piety
But fit for a democracy.

In any case Jews should accept
Right now a State of Palestine
Before the Middle East is swept
By Muslim masses more hard line
But maybe less quick to condemn
If all could share Jerusalem.
