On a sunny summer day
say a word out loud
             or stand in the way

 

Just find your way
             to tell the world you care

Aharon Shabatai is a leading Israeli poet who, when Israel was chosen as guest of honour at the "Fiera del libro" of Turin and the "Salon du livre" of Paris, refused to participate in these two exhibitions which he qualified as "promotion of propaganda" for Israel and said that they must be boycotted, as well as any cultural event where this apartheid State is celebrated.
