What's Wrong With Nationalism

I Don't groan, I avoid hating - Nazi Germany used 'National Socialist' To give the lie to nationalism And to God of all ethnoi, Jew and Gentile But moans & groans turn to labeling (Thinkers as Anti-Semite, even if Semitic) Or friends of all nations, Jew & Gentile II You see what wrong? I can only agree with givernments - Or get called names, da#nn any brains: I will be ostracized Cast both as Nazi and Anti semite If I say the government of Israel Ought to have used, Judea or Judah! The Samaritan's are still here (Nablus, In the occupied West Bank, old Neapolis) But Israelis rarely accept them as Jews John chapter 4 is alive. So is Shechem! III When you have been a victim, or hurt You will fly a flag higher than the cross The cross and temple must raise flags Must raise money, help solve problems- But the 'church' today has no state Or equal rights with the Flag That's why nationalism is an ISM: Ask Vlad Putin and the heores of USSR

When nationalization is built on God's commandment, then all is right with the word.
