Emma Lazarus, who wrote "The New Colossus" was a Zionist Jew whose first allegiance was to the Jewish people. It was the Jews she had in mind when she wrote her poem.
Actually the song was adapted by songwriter Irving Berlin from a poem by Emma Lazarus called "The New Colossus" about immegrants and the Statute of Liberty.
..Oh yeah? I didn't even GET this piece of music! I didn't even get a chance to see it before performing it. I was looking three stands over to see if I could see some of it!
