this day's news


Four Hamas hostages were freed today 
after a daring raid by the IDF
the jubilation was great to witness 
the ethnicity was clearly displayed
The dramatic rescue cost the lives of
hundreds of Palestinians, many of them 
children who otherwise could have
become adults and joined the Hamas 
68% of Israel's population agree 
with Netanyahu's politics of what is
nothing more than murder.
Israel is relentless in their pursuit 
of Hamas that mostly kills the innocent
as Hamas is the only group the group
that speaks for Palestine, one thinks
Israel must be considered a terrorist
In the USA where the defense 
of Israel's right to defend itself is absolute
we see their youth has caught on
and sees the truth.
To vilify the perceived enemy is all too
common, occupied Russia-speaking part
of Ukraine, a rocket hit a building complex
many civilians killed, we see Ukraine's
the strong man received this news with glee
Let me say although my heart goes to
Gaza, I reserve the right to the Islamic 
hateful voice spreading over Europe
