Opportunists

Michael Peach

While most of humanity
Is preoccupied
With the invasive
Coronavirus,
With the blessing of Donald Trump —
Possessed by his joyous,
Deterministic and supremacist
Evangelical base —
Corrupt Israeli secular nationalists
And theocratic Messianists
Are poised to annex
The West Bank.
