They Say We Jews are Afraid

     They say we Jews are afraid
        that no one 'now' will come to our aid

     Murder of Jews in America is multiplying
        more and more hate crimes, innocents dying

     Well, that’s the way it’s always been
        as any Jew with two eyes has seen  

     Six million of us killed by Hitler and his cronies
        without a hand lifted to stop it by Roosevelt and his liberal phonies

     To prevent the last 750,000, from Hungary, from being gassed
        they only needed to target one railway pass

     But FDR and his friends grew up hating those ‘damn Jews’ 
        so, all our urgent pleas they angrily refused…

     Today though, there is Israel, the Jewish state
        reestablished in '48 on the back of global hate

     A state that stands boldly against acts of terror
        where Jewish Israelis glance not in the rearview mirror

     My fellow Jewish Americans, the time is now to emigrate
        let's remake our lives in Israel ~ before here it’s too late 



     _____________________________________________________
     Anyone willing to do the slightest bit of research will find out
     just how big a Jew-hater FDR was from his early years on...And 
     his shocking wave-of-the-hand dismissal of so many urgent
     pleas to spare one or two bombs to target Germany's transport
     of 750,000+ Hungarians Jews to Auschwitz in 1944 STANDS OUT 
     as perhaps his cruelest act as President, right up there with the
     much more widely publicized incarceration of up to 1,800 Japanese-
     Americans during WW2.

No hate is good, and though I'm probably one of those liberals, I agree, FDR dropped the ball, big time, with regards to Jewish immigration (though he wasn't alone in that), or so I learned from Ken Burns holocaust documentary.

Me, too. And yet, it has to be faced down -- before it destroys the country and the world.

Once again, your support is deeply appreciated... Hitler killed 12 million innocent civilians, including the Jews, b/c of their race, religion, or creed during WW2. A real blight on humanity he was... And folks today have the unmitigated gall to compare Tromp with him. Hitler's in a league with Stalin and Mao. But the left doesn't want to hear that, as all of them were National Socialists/lefties. ~ gw
