Brave Fighters

'The Boston Massacre' killed British soldiers, three
      and destroyed quite a bit of tea
         O, those heartless American revolutionaries!

   Hamas just killed 700 Israelis, mostly civilians
      on a Jewish Holy Day
   Captured over 100 hostages too
      dozens of babies and grandmothers, by the way

   Now American Congressional radicals in 2023
      Omar, Bowman, Bush, Tlieb, AOC
         rally in support of Hamas in NYC

      O, such brave fighters ~ 
         destroyers of lives, freedom and liberty

Bravery, yes. This is a horrific terrorist attack that has happened. Evil will be eradicated. I pray for your son's safety.

Rallying with you in tears. Praying for Israel. The taking of the elderly, women, children…what cowards do. God sees all. I am (more than likely was supposed to go) to Israel in February. My heart full and breaking. How can anyone think this is okay?

Gershon, our tears and prayers are with you. I cannot believe the horrors. Such a joyful Holiday, ending in such horrendous carnage. I am glad to hear from you, I was so worried, not knowing where your family was celebrating. My husband is guarding us from a lot of this and wants me to go write and think of happy things. I feel selfish doing that, but I am trying. Please stay safe Gershon, you and your precious family.

I wouldn't say I like to use the word evil, but I cannot believe my eyes and ears of the wars and carnage going on today. They are unnecessary and inhuman. My heart goes out to all concerned. Many of the soldiers don't want to fight. It all smells of evil to me. And is highly concerning.

There is Evil in the world. And that's the challenge for those of us who treasure Life. To recognize it when it stares us in the face, call it by its proper name, and wipe it our forever. Not many have the guts to do it...
