Notes	This poem explores the similarities between the situations in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and the unresolved Israel-Palestine conflict. The speaker remarks upon a childhood discussion about why British soldiers were being killed in NI, to which a classmate responded 'if a foreign army did the same to England, would they not oppose them?' This is juxtaposed with the Israel-Palestine conflict, with special reference to President Jimmy Carter, who wrote about the conflict in Peace not Apartheid, and was the subject of the 2007 documentary 'Man from Plains' about his post-presidential work on the conflict.
