I Hope For the Best

They are still fighting in the Mideast Jews killing Arabs and Arabs killing Jews Civil wars in Yemen and Syria lead to the death of children Will out poems change people's hearts? Let us pray they do A litle optimism is what is needed by all of us versifiers We must do our best to help create paths to peace in the world It is vital!

Someone once put it this way: If you too away all the weapons from the Israelis, you'd have a bloodbath on your hands. If you took all the weapons away from the Arabs, you'd have peace. I think that still pretty much holds. Or this: Where do you feel safer in Israel: In a neighborhood of Orthodox Jews, or in a neighborhood of Palestinians? Food for thought anyway. Thanks, Matthew. ~ Gershon

As long as the Arabs teach their kids all Jews are pigs...Alas, Matthew. Jews do not throw rocks, blow up restaurants, buses not break into Arabs homes, Jewish families are slaughtered on Shabbos. They are constantly attacked. The Palestianians aka Arabs have no intention to stop Jew killing. They read MEIN KAMPF. No, no peace, PR Shema Yisroel!

It is up to each one of us to do our best in bringing peace to this dis-harmonied world. Nice poem Matthew.
