"Merry Minuet" some lyrics. Just substitute Hamas, Israel, Iran, Pakistan etc and you're all set. Part of the lyrics:
The whole world is festering
With unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans,

Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much
But we can be grateful
And thankful and proud
That man's been endowed
With a mushroom shaped cloud
And we know for certain
That some happy day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow man.
