Lyrics
Max Blumenthal's Stand
At 22, the seeds of discomfort were sown on Israeli soil, A land of contrasts, where narratives boil. Liberal Zionism's allure, a comforting lie, Masked the harsh truths no tour could deny.
Echoes of a land divided, hearing the truths he could not ignore, Max crawled through history's shadow, scratching the forbidden door. Challenged to see beyond the facade, where the oppressed silently plea (so silently plea), Each step on that hallowed ground, a step towards the truth he'd see.
Post-9/11, the world changed, and so did he, The Second Intifada, scenes he couldn't unsee. Liberal to radical, a path less taken, Among the ruins of Gaza, his core was shaken.
Chomsky's footnotes, a guide through the fog, Edward Said's words, a light in the bog. From the ivory towers to the streets of LA, His journey of unlearning, a new role to play.
Echoes of a land divided, hearing the truths he could not ignore, Max stood tall through history's shadow, opening a forbidden door. Challenged to see beyond the facade, where the oppressed silently plea (so silently plea), Each step on that hallowed ground, bringing us all the truth he sees.
From the Mondo Weiss to Huffington Post , His pen became a sword, slicing through ghosts. Feeling the Hate again, a mirror to society, Reflecting a face of intolerance and impropriety.
Now a voice for the voiceless in a world that's unjust, Blumenthal stands firm, a man of justice. Challenging Zionism, a controversial lance, In pursuit of peace (pursuit of peace), he makes his stance.
