the Semitic puzzle
The Semitic Puzzle
The anti -Semitic problem is one of the most difficult.
It's a problem I grapple with daily, a constant tug-of-war in my heart
and mind.
I’m aware of the holocaust and will defend any Jew.
Against the onslaught of hate. On the other hand
Yet, I’m acutely conscious of the profound suffering of the Palestinian people.
Who lost their land, and what is left is being built on by
Aggressive Jewish settlers and the Israeli state are
Unwilling to interfere to protect Palestine. And for those
Those who want Jewish purity have only one conclusion.
The destruction of the Palestinian people. Should this be
The only experience drowned in the Shoah — surely not.
But my time is short, I wait for the famed Jewish deals.
I know it is there in the offering; what is needed is
What's needed is a visionary leader to piece together this intricate puzzle.
