First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me -
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
To this I'd like to add:
Then they came for the Palestinians,
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Palestinian.
Then they came for me -
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
