'Victory Day' for Whom

     Hitler dead, camps liberated
       Justice arrived for those the West hated

     Germany squirmed at what the shocked world saw
       The Third Reich’s militia seized and declawed… 

     80 years later, Jew-hatred’s returned 
       All the Arabs and Iran do nothing but yearn

     For the day when the Jews are gassed once again
       Today’s Nazis intend to finish what Hitler began

Powerful Gershon and so sadly true. During WW 2 one of the arab countries I believe had a propaganda minister from Hitler's Germany visit them and teach them anti semitic philosophy and the Persians learned it as well. At least at this point we have an administration that is pro Israel and against anti semitism.

We know the scriptures are true by the very fact of history and the prophesied facts which have come to be, who ever heard of such things> Will a nation be born in a day with her people with her? The day came; another prophesied day looms largely. Who can understand, but the conflicting forces prove once again along with the artifacts, and leave no doubt in my mind, someday, there will be peace, same book tells me so. Until then, hold on, such a wild and crazy ride. Be safe Gershon, please.

yes, I just don't get it. There is so much anti-semitism at colleges. I can't even imagine where it's all coming from.

Hi Gershon, when General Eisenhower had the Nazi atrocities evidence recorded for people to never forget and never repeat, you'd think humankind would finally learn. Tragically, many didn't. So many of us grieving because right here in the U.S. some colleges foster antisemitism and are graduating hateful monsters. Am Yisrael Chai. Shabbat Shalom ~

"all that is required for evil to triumph is for "good" men (and women) to do nothing"....to paraphrase a quote..
