Liberation, How Quickly Forgotten

In 2006, Israel pulled out of Gaza
    liberating the Gazans 
  at the behest of noble global statesmen 'round the world ... 

  In a wink, Hamas swooped in and seized all power
    dousing freedom's new-lit flame
  Promoting violent resistance against the Jewish State
    Death to all the Jews, the Israelis ... 

  Wars every two years or so since, another has just started
    But does the world give two cents
  Are its leaders sorry that from Gaza Israel parted
    
  No, no, never. They just shriek at Bibi Netanyahu
    Promising revenge 'and more' on Facebook and Yahoo
  In fact, they demand that Israel leave the West Bank too
    Won't let Israel defend itself ~ for them, that's nothing new

It’s not funny to me, Sure you wrote some truths! But since Hitler destroyed millions of Jews, nobody gives s hoot, they think it’s all in the past. Nobody dare pen a poem about how a Jew was murdered by an Arab clearly.and in detail. Mainstream media applauds only Palestinians as victims. To say, Iguess that’s nothing new, invites the murder of another Jew.They just love CNN. Friend toPalestinians MSN and MSNBC.too. We have the power to wake people up. Give poets specifics Pangie

Gershon, the world community acts as If the Jewish Nation. Doesn't the right to protect itself. What! Of course they do. The Faithful will be here, forever. Long may they live. Keep rolling.
