"Who shot the spotted ocelot in Gaza, plot diglossal...?" Gaza Border Incident, 4/20/18, Constrained (But Just Barely)

Who shot the spotted ocelot
in Gaza, plot diglossal...? 
A tot, that ocelot they got, 
though now a rotting fossil. 
His siblings (quot...?*), a docile lot,
engage. Their rage...? Colossal!
They mobilize en masse, all hot
with Nazi Occ** to jostle,
thus following Abbas*** a lot! 
their blotted-out apostle.
A toast! But Gott! Don't kvass allot:
just mocktails*****: Muslim wassail.
       * Latin for "how many...?"
     ** The Occupation of Palestine
     *** Abu Abbas: founder/leader of the PLO.
       **** Non-alcoholic versions of cocktails.
