It happened last week in Jacksonville, Florida. A sad day for America, indeed.

In the home of the ‘free and the brave’ live cowards come out of their caves Proud to fly the Nazi flag in Jacksonville 'Once-amber-fields’ turned dunghills

Hi Gershon, I don't recognize the U.S. anymore. The country I raised my right hand in a pledge to before I boarded the plane out of JFK to head to Orlando for boot camp in '79, sure is a sad and chaotic America now. Antisemitism is a cancer on this country. It breaks my heart. Shalom u'vrakha, my good poetry friend. ~

Gross, antiSsemitism is on the risr,. Not only in Florida but in every country. And the USA per Biden/ Blinken makes sure we support anti- Semitism. This time under the flag of Palestine. And we and other nations in Europe support as well Pangie xx

Yup. It's truly scary here now. Time for the move to Israel, methinks. Esp. if Biden is reelected. ~ Gershon

Scary, indeed! Such things should not be allowed.

...all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing...we defend the right of free speech while being shouted down by such hatreds

That's right, John. Great insight and vision on your part, as usual. Thanks, Gershon

Fancy flying an abhorrent flag when they could go fly a kite with the kids. J
