What a Country!

by Alon Tem, Sharon Shechter, Rotem Amihud, Grade 11,
Amal Comprehensive School for Sciences and Arts, Hadera

We are a bunch of Jews
Who came across the sea,
We have turned the sand and stones
Into a place with high technology.

We'll fight for our freedom
In the heat and in the cold.
We are known for our wisdom
In every place around the world.

We got Ehud on the left,
We got Bibi on the right,
They are fighting all the time,
It's an "interesting" sight
(doesn't it bite?)

Yes, our country is divided,
But firmly will it stand
Because nothing will stop us
From defending our land.
