Our stories are not their stories;
ours are true, theirs are rooted in falsehood.
Ours are stories of decency, morality,
a drive to do good, to build peace,
to better the world and those who fill it;
theirs are stories of hatred, of evil,
of destruction and bombing and explosions and
death, death to their enemies, death to themselves,
death for death's sake,
because life, in their eyes, has no value.
Ours are stories of truth,
of the pain and destruction of innocents,
babies, pregnant women, boys and girls, elderly people;
people who cared only to live their lives,
to have weddings, go to school, go to work, eat, sleep;
theirs are stories
staged for the camera,
gleefully riotously falsified,
a play, a charade,
again and again.
Nobody cares to see our real stories of pain,
stories of truth;
but when they fling out another of their
staged stories of evil, of falsehood,
the world sits up, and bays loudly,
making a great noise.
Listen, sisters and brothers:
let us not please anyone but G-d and ourselves;
let us not rely on anyone but G-d and ourselves;
for who will fight for us,
but G-d and ourselves?
who will believe us -- who will want to believe us --
though the truth comes from our mouths and not from theirs --
but G-d and ourselves?
