Gaza Riviera

That's Donald's latest scheme

Move the Palestinians

It is the settlers' dream

Their troops have done the groundwork

And cleared off all the land

The families of those many killed

Will surely understand

No mind about the thousands dead

Entombed beneath the rubble

Digging new foundations

It won't be too much trouble

Skyscrapers where the tented camps

Housed frightened and displaced

Queues for cocktails not food aid

Beach towels for shrouds replaced

Those who made this strip their home

Are marked down now for exile

Punished for a terror raid

To live beyond the Nile

And Trump is just ignoring

What blood and tears have bought

A blot on Netanyahu -

It is the last resort.
