Flag March - Dangerous Game

Teenage yeshiva students from America 'Big Heroes' - 'Land of Israel Nationalists' All yell 'Death to the Arabs' as they smile for the cameras A 'real good look' for 'Parents'-skins'-in-the-game activists' Another year come and gone; another Flag March survived Its sole achievement, stoking ultra-nationalistic pride Next to the sea of blue-and-white flags burns white-hot terror Ready to avenge insults directed at ~ Palestinian flag standard-bearers ____________________________________________________ The Flag March was originally meant to commemorate the capture of East Jerusalem and the reunification of Jerusalem during the 1967 ('Six-Day') War. What it's become now is, in my opinion, a gross perversion of its original message of 'Unification.'

I agree with Ann wholeheartedly. A deplorable state of affairs.

And I agree with both of you. Utterly deplorable. Thanks, Shirley.

The spirit of God is love but people all around the world are using the occasions for hate instead. Look to the Amish who had something atrocious happen to their girls and ferociously fought the enemy (Satan) with forgiveness towards the perpetrator and his family. A fair fight…

Isn't it sad that our world has come to this? We can't even have a normal celebration. I think the end of days is upon us.

Your perspective on this stops me in my tracks. My God, you are right: 'We can't even have a normal celebration!' Whether it's July 4 in Highland Park, Il, or a celebration of Jerusalem reunited, nothing works. Terrorism everywhere. Ugh! Thanks, Ann. :) gw
