| Notes | This poem describes the apathy and failure of the Western world to engage with Palestinian issues and the resulting human cost. The date of the poem indicates that it is in reference to the Lebanon War, which broke out in 2006. The speaker of the poem notably mentions the newspaper reports of the events, including the images of a girl, killed by Israeli attacks, and her weeping father. Despite the media coverage of the events, however, the Western world believes Israeli propaganda. |
