First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out -
Because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out -
Because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out -
Because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out -
Because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak out -
Because I wasn't a Catholic.
Then they came for me -
And there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemöller
First they kicked everyone out of Gush Katif, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not a "Tzioyni"
Then they kicked the Charedim out of the yeshivas, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not a "Parasite"
Then they came to kick everyone out of Israel, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not "Israeli"
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me...
... nor a land to embrace me.
