The Arab League has just cut of ties with Guatemala over the latter’s
decision to hand over the strings to Washington and play good by moving its
embassy to Jerusalem.
To add insult to injury, the move was made amid protests
in the occupied Palestinian territories in commemoration of the 70th anniversary
of the Nakba, and the subsequent shooting and killing of dozens of Palestinian protesting
in the Gaza Strip.
To add further insult, Paraguay followed suit.
The decision to enrage the international community at large
and risk severing ties with Arab and Muslim nations is likely attributed to the
art of cajolement. Praise Washington and Tel Aviv for their efforts to
establish peace and justice, and support such rhetoric with tactless actions. In
short, to stay in America’s good books, kiss up to Israel on diplomatic and
economic levels.
Jimmy Morales, Guatemala’s President, said his country was
sending a message of "love, peace and fraternity" to Israel on the occasion
of recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Paraguayan President Horacio
Cartes praised his country´s decision at the inauguration ceremony as "A
historic day that strengthens ties between Paraguay and Israel".
Since everyone is being poetic about it, so can we.
Little Morales and Cartes said one day
Let´s go out together my friend and play
However they were scared of the bully at bay
Who has never had a sensible thing to say
Plus there is his little brother Shabtai
Who is always part of every fray
So they thought of a plan to sway
And make them both happy in May
They moved their toys across the hay
And built play castles from drenched clay
We did it! echoed their shameless bray
And a star to our heads the bullies will inlay
When those Arabs come our way
We can change our minds, if they have more to pay
