Jew and Arab
Arab and Jew
So much in common
With Zionism, so few

Life is precious
For me and you
Children of Abraham
Our shared heritage
In old times and new

Remember Andulosia
Jews then knew
That under Islam
They were protected
And earned the respect
They were due

Averros and Maimonides
Coexisted
Side by Side
In a beautiful spirit
That was true

When Jews were exiled
Muslims embraced them
They had their Golden Age
If one would only
Recall history or review

If Europe persecuted you
How does that justify
Persecuting me?
This is not right,
It’s a twisted view

Europe killed Jews
In the Holocaust,
How come they persecuted
The Palestinians and slew?

Zionism and Nationalism
Are outdated
Humanity dictates equality
In the holy land
Between Avi and Abu
