I Hear the Boots of Krystallnacht

I hear the boots of Krystallnacht marching in our streets Heil, Hitler… Heil, Sinwar… Heil, Hitler… Heil, Sinwar… I hear the glass of Krystallnacht clinking 'neath their cleats Dirty Jews… Jew pigs Free Palestine… Intifada lives I see 'our leaders’ cower turning backsides to the fray like Harvard's President, Claudine Gay POTUS Biden asked a question, walks away I see my fellow Jews betray our cause shouting, 'Intifada Revolution'... 'No More Genocide'... seeming not to understand disunited, we perish by suicide... Have we forgotten, do we not recall His covenantal promise we'd never fall One place to turn, one Name to call ~ God of Israel, save us all

I stand with you, my friend. Indeed the world, once again, is living upside-down. We hit our knees, and ask God of heaven for a turnabout! Bless you.

what you've described is all too real and much too frightening, gerson! never thought i'd see the day, but maybe that was just naive of me. i don't see this situation ending anytime soon, either...

The passing history that we witness each day is far too similar to what we have seen in the past. Let that history be our tutorial, our mentor and a wake up call. When lawlessness is tolerated, anarchy becomes king. Gershon, thank you for this poem and your poem on peace. Blessings to you at Passover. In my prayers.

Awesome. Historty repeats itself indeed, iI already wrote two poems, on this. Nobody from the Twelve Tribes will sign them. This is reality, a Jewish student with a Palestinian flag stuck.in her eye. Our Christian friends wont sign my poems either, More frighteniing to acknowledge today.!! Easier to think about World War II. And very dangerous.. this is 2024! 1,200 Jews murdered in 2023. Noboby cares? HaShem sees our heartlessnees.. The 2023 pogrom is written off????! Pangie xx

"History repeats itself indeed.' Your words are prophetic and insightful, Pangie. For that is exactly what is happening... Perhaps the only question left is: Will America destroy itself before Israel has no choice to but destroy her? ~ gw

I felt a number of emotions when I read this...such a sad turn of events happening in our elite universities. Do these people not read history books? Do they not know where this will all end? Yet, the Univ. of Texas brought me a glimmer of hope saying 'no protests on our campus.' Our governor engaged the state troopers when the same liberal idiots tried to protest outside the state capitol..."not in our state.' Still, a lot has to change across this country. I pray every day, "God Help us!"
