The Replacements

sense when did Isreal replace the Nazi's as 
an evil oppressive regime
how in the world did it let APARTHIDE! 
become it's terrible theme
why are it's officers acting like
the old German SS
terrorizing citizens, women and children
in distress
aren't they the people who from Egypt
God set free
who from time to time, God reminded;
foreigners are just like me
aren't they the people saved from the 
holocost
why would they do to others 
from what they were saved from 
and nations fought
just look at what happened over there
at first i really didn't care
"they deserve it" i said to myself
everyday saying "they're doing it to themselves"
then the Palistinians said they won the war
and at first; i couldn't see
but for a man who loves Israel
yet blind, i cannot be
my prayer is still for Isreal 
when it is compleat
that it will be peaceful and not evil
and with foreigners live in peace


(6o Minutes did a story 1-25- 09. I saw Isreali Soldiers hide like thieves. like they were 
stealing.)

Smile-Yes, but remember, it was the Jewish people in part, whom also crucified Jesus Christ-and killed many of the prophets before-and followers after Him!!! Thus, until He returns, it no surprise, that many shall be but reflections, of His times etc.-""Hello My Blessed and Precious Brother John Loving III:)-You know, I love "Your Faith and Your Reflective Soul!"-Just for the record my dear friend!-And, "My Love Always To You And Your Loves, John!"-Bye Brother!:)

I didn't see the show and I am not very political but I can appreciate this write for the power in your words. I believe in fairness and that all humans should have a right to live their lives in peace. I hate the thought of anyone suffering and suffering injustice. Good write John. Love, Robin
