Arab Peace

Arab Peace
Arabs are, essentially, a peace-loving people.
The Koran commends peace, and it is Arabic
for hello and good-bye and have some more.
Heathens don't understand this, and when war
becomes a regrettable necessity, Arabs
always are blamed. Sometimes a few hotheads
get carried away, but what else can one do
in situations like this, when ones homeland
is occupied for generations? When the Jews
have been annihilated in every corner
of the Earth, then there will be true peace,
an Arab peace. Now that that is understood,
let us sit down to negotiate. Salaam.
