My Tribute to Meir Kahane

   
     Meir Kahane, a visionary, warned us all
        Yet far too few heeded his call

     Labeled a ‘firebrand’ by all the elites
        His message understood by his enemies in the street

     He told the West, calmly, what it didn’t want to hear
        that Jew-haters' terror would soon have it quaking with fear

     And Kahane warned Israel, to have a viable Jewish state
        its Arab populace could not be allowed to spew terror and hate

     But Israeli liberals said Kahane was ‘racist,’ exiled him to New York city
        where a Jew-hater gunned him down in ‘90, a shame and a pity

     For now most Israelis see that Kahane was right
        terror unchecked has turned the world’s day into night

Hi G~ FAV of the day,. You can with ease ,courage and wit (par ecellance) pen some the best poems here. My guess is that people here do not really know or care who Meir Kahane was. He was way powerful.. Then, his son and daughter-in-law were assasinated in Hebron in their van. The kids were in the backseat. I don’t think he’s liked in Israel to this day! You know why. Mazel Tov! Pangie

Aniti Semitism closes ses many mouths here. Plus the fear runs big here..Do Not Speak About the real world. Just ponder, We live in a world that lets evil win. There is a huge march in the UK, pro Gaza! Leftiist media doing their best as a mouhpiece forTehran! Only the non Jews think they are safe? Irrational thinking …Tehran, Hamas plans to take it over, the whole planet.. Sharia Law for all. Pangie. Oct 7th? This could be our fate, too. The lies by the left are sick and immoral.

Really appreciate the FAVE on this one, esp. in light of all the other comments -- ahem, ahem -- I received about this visionary light of Israel, this most misunderstood and much maligned visionary. TYSM, P! ~ Gershon
