Never Again, Again

Who defended Jews from Nazis in WW2 A few brave souls here and there Foul-smelling smoke from crematoria arose The masses turned aside, held their nose Only dirty Jews being gassed, burnt, chopped up and flayed Only unclean Jewish women being gang-raped by the SS night and day Only Jewish genitals being irradiated in sexual experiments Only 'Jew-dogs' ~ their essence, filth and excrement Today, Islamists shout 'Allah Akhbar,' then slaughter Jewish grandmas, wives, babies, sons and daughters The West cowers, labels them 'militants,' not terrorists Israel, retaliate: Shoot every Hamasnik dead ~ Not a single one can you afford to miss

Gershon, such a tragic and heart-rending series of horrendous crimes against God's people. My heart is broken. I have a special place of love in my heart for Jewish people. You and your family are in my prayers along with so many other people's prayers. The Jewish people the world over are in my prayers.

Thank you, Heidi. There will be more suffering, more loss of life. If Netanyahu and company hadn't let things go on the Gaza border, all this wouldn't have happened. But God has willed it, and now comes the reckoning for Hamas (and maybe Iran too). Thanks again, Gershon

Enough suffering, already.

A truly painful read, Gershon. Our own BBC has been (rightly) criticised for refusing to label the terrorists ‘Terrorists’. I confess, having read your recent writes, to refraining from comment as I don’t feel I can find words of sufficient weight. Be sure, I read and consider all and my silence is out of respect rather than throwing in some ‘blah blah’. Others here seem to find the words that fail me so allow me to echo their sentiments.

a truly powerful poem, Gershon. The title is so appropriate given the cirumstances and the situation. I remain in a state of shock. The horrors that Jews faced in WWII was unbelievable...what's happening now (again) seems just as evil. I agree...no Hamasnik should be spared. I'm angry at the West's response or lack thereof. Thanks for sharing an intense creation. Hope you have a pleasant evening, Sara

Powerfully said, Gershon! Let’s hope that it all ends soon, but I’m afraid that won’t happen…

I hear you, Ilene. It would nice to see a true end to this, but 'Peace in the Middle East' seems to be the biggest oxymoron of the last 75 years!

...those wh forget the past.....peace, and the illusion of peace, often allows the demons hope

Even when it is right in the face, there are some who choose to tell lies. What atrocities are done to people - it hurts the heart to think about it!
