"I am the very model of a BDSbyterian" (Divest This!)

A truly brilliant music parody by Divest This!, to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Modern Major General:"

I am the very model of a BDSbyterian

I’m open to all points of view (especially if they’re Syrian)

Don’t bother me if you’re a Kurd, Tibetan or Nigerian

I am the very model of a BDSbyterian

 

Don’t talk to him if you’re a Kurd, Tibetan or Nigerian

Because he is the model of a BDSbyterian

 

I’m also well acquainted too with Judith Butler’s fond advice,

I understand facts fed to me by Hezbollah and Mondoweiss

I’ll happily toe Barghouti’s line regarding stocks the Church should ban

Because I am the model of a BDSbyterian

 

He’ll do whatever Omar says, yet claim to be a thinking man

That shows he is the model of a BDSbyterian

 

I also am the model of a terrorist apologist

My power for projecting guilt would stun a trained psychologist

How could this be? I do not know!  Go ask an anthropologist

I am the very model of a terrorist apologist

 

How could he warp his conscience so?  Go ask a trained psychologist

I guess it’s cause he’s made himself a terrorist apologist

 

I wipe my mind of what they do to Jew or homosexual

By leveraging the force of all my powers intellectual

Hamas missiles bore me so, I’ve not regard for where they land

Because I am the model of a BDSbyterian

 

Once rockets launch he has no care for whom they hit or where they land

Because he is the model of a BDSbyterian

 

One last point which proves that I’m a BDSbyterian

The Church must do my bidding or I’ll simply make them vote again

Divestment voted down five times just a speedbump to my brilliant plan

And that’s why I’m the model of a BDSbyterian

 

He’ll make them vote a hundred times, or more because he know he can

And that’s why he’s the model of a BDSbyterian

 

My self-regard is buttressed by inflated moral vanity

My ego soaring while ignoring crimes against humanity

So IPMN writes pamphlets that are high-fived by the Ku Klux Klan

That’s not my problem cause I’m just a BDSbyterian

 

So what if David Duke is now his own committee’s biggest fan?

He doesn’t care because he is a BDSbyterian

This needs to be made into a video, preferably with full costume.
