“A dual national is not
considered a foreign citizen under Israeli Security Service Law and is subject
to a mandatory military service according to that law”
You
were first in my grandparents’ dreams,
and
where I first dreamt, generations later.
Now
our dreams have turned to nightmares;
though
you are not the traitor
For
through it all, you are still mine.
And
in blue envelopes, I see your calls.
Occupying
my birthday greetings, you remind me:
I
am still yours.
Just
like you, I am unhealthily
divided.
I know your enemies are unjust.
Yet
the crown, we dreamt you wearing,
has
slowly turned to rust.
I
will only fight in my mental war,
You
shall not place weapons in my hands:
Till
I can visit my Jerusalem,
In
my fair and pleasant Land
