Their Blood Will Never Wash Away

evil
a genocide
wrapped in hypocrisy
cruel unspeakable horrors
of heinous crimes against humanity
in blatant scorn for the impending wrath of god

You spoke the truth. Wish people would fear wrath of God. Hope all is well with you

Gripping, Line... The 'incident' I remember best was in 1971, when the Jordan River literally turned red from the blood of the 250,000 PLO and Palestinians slaughtered by King Hussein and the Jordanian Army. You're gonna roll your eyes -- but I don't blame Hussein for his barbarism. It was either kill out the PLO or cede the Kingdom to the PLO, which would have left Jordan at the mercy of Nasser, Assad and other butchers of the Middle East. It's no 'Garden of Reason,' over there... :) gw

There is no end to the barbarism ~ it is truly a jungle out there and we continue to put lipstick on that pig.
