SONG: "And Israel Knew"

Israel knew more than a year in advance, about Hamas' plans.
they named it "Jericho Wall". search that phrase.
[Verse 1]
I saw the signs in black and white (Hannibal directive!)
Letters filed away from sight
Someone knew what would unfold
But kept the truth from being told (but Israel knew!
The warning bells that never rang
While I just sat and sang

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a weight inside my chest
Questions that I can't address
What about RTP?! (responsibility to protect)

[Chorus]
When you know before (and Israel knew!)
But you close the door ( they knew a year before Hamas' attack!)
When you see it clear
But you disappear
When you know before
What was this all for?
We had the right to know!

[Verse 2]
The files were there upon the shelf
they kept them to themselves
The knowledge that could have saved us all
Instead they let the pieces fall, they allowed it all
And now I'm left here to cry
over it.
Truth was buried, a native land Palestine, left to die!

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a weight inside my chest (I can't rest)
Questions that I can't address (but I know now Israel knew)

[Chorus]
When you know before (and Israel knew!)
But you close the door (and it was allowed. they knew before the Hamas' attack, more than a whole year)
When you see it clear
But you disappear
When you know before
What was this all for?

[Bridge]
Papers scattered on the floor
Tell me what they knew before
Was it easier to hide
Than to face what's on the inside?

[Solo]

[Chorus]
When you know before
But you close the door (and leave us in the dark)
When you see it clear (and Israel knew)
But you disappear
When you know before
What was this all for?

[Outro]
I saw the signs in black and white
(Know before, know before)
Letters filed away from sight
(Know before, know before)
