Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Double Standard

If Ben-Gvir is a terrorist
    What is Bashar Assad?
  Whose hands are stained red
     from spilling fellow Syrians' blood

  If Ben-Gvir is a terrorist
    What is Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah?
  Whose 'soldiers' use children as shields
    Those 'brave men' of Hezbollah

  If Ben-Gvir is a terrorist
    What is Vladimir Putin?
  Who bombs water mains and utilities
    Nothing left for Kiev to ration

  If Ben-Gvir is a terrorist
    What is Mahmoud Abbas?
  Who lavishes rewards on 'freedom fighters'
    for dynamiting packed Israeli buses...   

  Ben-Gvir is a force for law and order
    in a region overrun by anarchy and terror
  So, he's tough and no-nonsense
    ~ On HIS side I'll error

Anthony Bianco December 7, 2022 at 8:22 PM Hi Gershon Strong poem-never be silent. All the while the squad wants to crush defense funding to Israel.,and people keep voting these America hating witches into positions of influence. God bless Israel and to those who support her. Best wishes Anthony Best Wishes Anthony Gershon Wolf December 8, 2022 at 3:53 PM And so it goes... I point the finger at my fellow Jews. Many have no clue of what day-to-day life & death is like over there. They're living in the Hollywood world of 'Exodus' with pioneers and kibbutzim. It's a jungle over there, Anthony.
