Jerusalem Parade - Surprise Postscript

LGTQs paraded through Jerusalem without a hitch
    though security was tight, not one single glitch

  Under the supervision of one Itamar Ben-Gvir 
    dubbed a 'racist right-wing fanatic' by the press
  They conveniently forgot that he'd pass every test
    upholding the philosophy those truly religious bless:

  'Do not belittle any thing
    neither scorn any one ~
  Every thing contains a bit of Heaven
    a shining hour, every one'*
