David Rovics' New song: Israeli Geography 101

Hi folks,

Me again. Listening to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress the other day, I wrote this musical response. It works OK as a poem, too, so I include below the text as well as the link to me talking/singing it on my YouTube channel:

For a long time now, every time I hear an Israeli patriot or apologist complaining that such-and-such a group or government won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state, I always wonder -- even if there is a good reason the Christians, Muslims and atheists of Palestine should live under some form of Jewish rule, how does one go about recognizing the legitimacy of a state that itself won't disclose exactly what its borders are? How does that work? Nobody seems to know.
