what isn't universal isn't a right

Chuck Schumer said what Biden didn't dare;
the Netanyahu program will not do.
His OneState non-solution can't be fair
if human rights are only for the Jew.
benGurion kept faith when he endorsed
the plan to make us masters of our fate,
explicitly accepting, in due course,
the corresponding Arab ethno-state.
That TwoState plan lies dusty, on the shelf
and Bibi offers just more status quo.
Too rapt in machinations for himself
Chuck Schumer speaks for us; he's got to go.
The self-determination Kant prescribed
has got to be for more than just our tribe.

Dementia steals the words Trump meant to speak;
one syllable's not following the last.
For those whose comprehension isn't weak,
it's manifest he's blowing empty gas.
His sycophants insist they understand
"his brilliant mind's just faster than his lips!"
Idolatrously focused on the man,
and piously insensate to the slips.
Without an engineer, this thund'rous train
seems poised to go careening off the track.
Most voters are inclined to help  Ukraine
defend herself from Putin's thugs' attacks.
A party doubling down on such a course
has wagered on the wrong end of its horse.
