I’m Not Anti-Semitic (the poem)

(In memory of Helen Thomas. -KB)

One day I read an email
And received distressing news:
Of anti-Semitism
I had been falsely accused

But I’m not anti-Semitic,
I like the Jews just fine
In Troy New York or Timbuktu:
Any place but Palestine

The anti-Defamation league
Put the kibosh on me
They said that I believed in a
“Jewish conspiracy”

I’m not anti-Semitic,
I like the Jews just fine
In Northfield, Minnesota:
Any place but Palestine

It’s true that Jewish thugs conspired
To steal the Holy Land
But now it seems that saying so
Is grounds for being banned

I’m not anti-Semitic,
I like the Jews just fine
In heaven, hell or Hollywood:
Any place but Palestine

They’ve drowned the holy land in blood
So please do not be peeved
When I say, with Helen Thomas,
That it’s time for them to leave

I’m not anti-Semitic,
I like the Jews just fine
Next door or north of outer space:
Any place but Palestine
