Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

A Heartfelt Prayer

Arabs call it 'Naqba' - catastrophe
  Sister Mary pulls out her rosary
    Sends out a heartfelt prayer
    To Palestinians there
  To get on with their lives this century



  ______________________________________
  Palestinian Arabs call Israel's Independence
  Day, 'Naqba,' 'The Catastrophe.' Their 'leaders'
  cruelly deceive them into thinking that they can
  actually turn the clock back to 1948, return to
  orchards they may (or may not) have cultivated, 
  and resume life as if nothing has happened in the 
  region for the last 75 years to put a decisive end 
  to such illusory hopes.

Panagiota Romios May 15, 2023 at 11:05 AM Palestinians live to kil Israelis,,and they do. All liberal. channels will weep with the the Palestians. Anti Semitism is growing like weeds everywhere. And the Abraham Accords meant nothing to Israelis.liberals only want peace quartets that never last. Has Biden been to Israel? He said he has traveled to 89 countries. And the world believes him. Pangie Gershon Wolf May 15, 2023 at 6:34 PM That is correct. All the Palestinians want is -- NOT a state -- but just the 'pleasure' of killing Jews and pushing them 'into the sea.' Odious evil-doers they are, those who subscribe to the egregious 'Palestinian Liberation' Lie.
