The April 3, 2022 issue of the Palestinian Authority (PA) daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida featured, on its back page, an anti-American poem titled "America – A Biography of Defeats." The poem mocks what it calls America's defeats in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria and Ukraine, and states that the Americans have become a laughingstock among the countries of the world.

The following is a translation of the poem:[1]


The poem on the daily's back page

"They went to Korea

"Went to Vietnam

"And after the defeat

"Another defeat

"And a new failure in Afghanistan.

"And after sustaining a blow in Lebanon

"Came Syria

"And Ukraine.

"They have become a laughingstock among the countries.

"O time,

"bear witness."
