	Israel's son could be a reference to either one of two groups: Israeli's or Palestinians. It is about wartime atrocities according to John Waton, but I think specifically about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East fueled by the hate each of those two groups feel for each other. Each think they are given the land by God, “I am, I am Israel's son/Israel's son I am.” Palestine uses terrorism to further their goals, and without fail, Israel strikes back militarily, hence the lines "If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead," and "You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here." I think the lines "All the pain I feel/Couldn't start to heal/Although I would like it to" voice the desire to have peace, but because this has lasted almost half a century now, there is no other choice but to keep fighting. One line, though, I believe is directed at the rest of the world, "I hate you and your apathy," in that most of the rest of the world simply ignore the horrid circumstances prevalent in the region.

	fucking rage, that's all i've got to say. if i ever feel this much hatred towards someone or something, I'm pretty sure someone will end up dead, even if it's me. Even frm the start, with the bass: I feel it.
