Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir
were "Freedom Fighters" as they'd tell the tale
expelling the British with fire and fear
but they'd be "terrorists" if they had failed
Marwan Barghouti leads in all the polls
despite his place in an Israeli prison
beloved of a WestBank no one controls
he'd win tomorrow if there were a race run
a "freedom fighter" or a "terrorist"
might make a statesman as the years unfold
the future's obscure as if in a mist
histor'ans judge who's reckless and who's bold
like Eugene Debs, let him run from his cell
to carve a promised land out of a Hell
