Palestine - Israel

Bulldozers at work

their bulldozer
crushes an American pacifist
war on terror

Palestine, March 16th 2003
Serge Tomé

Between the Israeli bulldozer
and the Palestinian house,
Rachel, 23,
just crushed.

offices
and mechanical shovels
as in Manhattan
Yom Kippour --
the steel of diggers
in the moonlight

Ramallah, Palestine, September 22th 2002
destruction of the Palestinan Authority

Yom Kippour - Day of Pardon… after the Russian tanks in Budapest, Prague, the American B52 in Vietnam, the Israelian diggers, tools of diplomacy…

Serge Tome (Belgium)

land for peace leveled by bulldozers for peace

Jerusalem wall
pigeon sleeps in a hole
made by a shellfire

Zinovy Vayman (Russia)

acqua di rose
dolciastro nella stanza
corpo svuotato
rose-water
sickly sweet in the room
waste body

homage to Jean Genet,in remembrance of Sabra and Chatila

Feu Violet

Bethléem 2002 --
Jésus dans sa crèche
entre le tank et le bulldozer
enceinte de sept mois
sous un bulldozer d'Israël
pendant l'inventaire
la boucherie Tsahal
reste ouverte
roses de Palestine
que Sharon consciencieusement
écrase

Daniel Py (France)

quatre-vingt centimètres
le mur zigzague
... îlots Palestiniens
terres labourées par
les chars ~ oliviers, cultures
massacrés - famine
Palestine en miettes
intifadah aux checkpoints
pot de terre pot de fer
