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. Terry

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!

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!
