Demography vs. Democracy

Tune: Warsaw Partisans Song
Songwriter: Nora Freeman
Gaggle: New York City Metro
Government & Politics Human & Civil Rights War & Peace

Israelis have a terrible problem
And they’re told that it will extinguish them

It’s called demography; they don’t know what to do

And so democracy is now their problem too

It’s called demography; they don’t know what to do

And so democracy is now their problem too

Demographically the situation’s this
The Jewish nature of Israel’s at risk
Because the birthrates simply aren’t matching up
To keep the population Jewish enough

And so maintaining a majority of Jews
Is an effort that is fated to lose

The Palestinians are standing in the way

Of Jewish Israel and so they’re made to pay

Jews all around the world are going gray

At the ethnic cleansing carried out in their names

Jews all around the world are going gray

At the ethnic cleansing carried out in their names

The Holocaust was a crime of genocide

And such horrors we no longer can abide

Nev’r again refers to each and every one

Every mother, father, daughter and son

Nev’r again refers to each and every one

Every mother, father, daughter and son
