about

This song is a response to those who say labelling the 2 tier system in place in Israel and the occupied territories as apartheid is anti-semitic. The slur of anti-semitism is used to silence dissent & criticism, including against Jewish people who oppose what is happening in Palestine. Elsewhere it would be called apartheid. The UN and Amnesty International have agreed.
Elsewhere, systematically driving people from their land and bombing civilians would be described as war crimes or genocide.

lyrics

Elsewhere APARTHEID

Conscripted young soldiers.
Tanks and state backed bulldozers.
Dwellings torn down, Families forced away.
Settler colonies spring up in their place.
Racist policies discriminate - Deny rights in a two tier system.
Perpetrate inhumane wrongs.
Negate basic human rights

They block humanitarian supplies
Of medicines, power and food.
Doctors killed in airstrikes on hospitals.
Collective punishment of civilians.
Soldiers armed with machine guns arrest and shoot children throwing stones.
First deny people their humanity...
Can you see the similarity?

If there's 2 standards of life and ethnicity Is how you decide,
The only word to describe this system has to be apartheid.
Boycott Divestment Sanctions. Protest and targeted actions.
Like South Africa in the 80s - Until Palestine is free
