Premium Member IsraHELL

Trained dogs to rape
raped doctors in prisons
used human shields
snipers to kill children
bombed churches
taken woman and children
hostages of the streets
beating them
burning villages
bulldozing history
Zionists deserve
to burn in hell
is your choice
to burn with them
or join humanity

The Ghetto Uprising of Oct 7th

Seventy seven years
massacre after massacre
they stole our lands
our trees
our heritage
homes and villages
erased our graves and monuments
raped, raped and raped some more
used our children as human shields
with audacity
they accused us of their crimes
you all closed your eyes
chanting never again
when is again and again and again
we rise up
humanity blooms inside of us
the bloodthirsty genocide 
by Zionists
the regime will fall

Premium Member The Nurse of Zionism

The Nurse of Zionism  (part 1) 

She visited the stolen land
loved putting her feet in the sand
the sand was not pleased
the crushed bones of Palestinian dreams
olive trees burned so Europeans could party

Over three hundred bullets in a six year old
"Its complicated"
Thousand of children slaughtered
"Its complicated"
Doctors raped in IDF prisons
"Its complicated"
Children used as human shields
"Its complicated"
Hospitals bombed on purpose
"Its complicated"
Medical equipment smashed by soldiers
"Its complicated"
IDF dress up in Palestinians women's cloths
"Its complicated"

One will never heal
with a heart so cold for others
selfish, self centered, self absorbed
to the core
Nazis had nurses too
I should not be shocked


The Angel of Tel Aviv  (Part 2)

I ask why the ones
with hearts of gold
carry such a heavy burden
of pain, loss and sadness

The world such a miserable place
nurses should carry compassions grace
mostly true
for in the afternoon sun,
the Hanoun in bloom
in Tel Aviv an angel of mercy
restored my faith in humanity


Premium Member Setting the Record Straight

    Every single Arab death in Gaza   
      is attributable to HAMAS

    Aided and abetted by Iran 
      Russia, and Mahmoud Abbas

    First Hamas butchers, rapes, and kidnaps
       thousands of Jews and others

    Then its ‘brave warriors’ use as human shields
      their so-called ‘Palestinian brothers’

    When Israel dares fight back 
       ‘Ceasefire now!’ Hamas whines

    Demanding Israel release Palestinian murderers
       while it (Hamas) keeps its hostages under tight confines

    Today's 'potd' blames Israel for the genocide
       that HAMAS perpetrates on both Israeli and Arab sides

Premium Member America's Decency's Gone

Where has America’s decency gone
    Long time passing
  All the folks who support Hamas
   would thrill to Auschwitz’ gassings   

  Hamas rapes, burns and slaughters Jews
    Palestinians celebrate these ‘heroes’
  Their American supporters don’t want Jews to fight back
    The number of foes killed will have too many zeroes  

  No matter that Hamas embeds its troops
     in Gaza’s hospitals and schools
  Or that they use human shields
     to pad the numbers killed urban war yields…

  Meanwhile, Hamas blocks food and humanitarian aid
    from ever reaching civilians
  As their fat-cat leaders luxuriate in Qatar
    drinking and dining in pavilions

  Where has America’s moral compass gone
    to support monsters like Hamas…
  Those who scream ‘from the River to the Sea’
    would eliminate each and every Jew ~ Nazi brutality to surpass

Premium Member One hundred and eighty two days ago

Over eight hundred Palestinian women and children held hostage by Israel
no charges, no crimes, an IOF soldier confessed, intimidation the goal
IOF using children as human shields
on Oct 7th IOF helicopters shot their own, as documented by Haaretz
at the exact same time, Palestinians were having their homes bull dozed
their land stolen
seventy fives years of de humanization
National geographic has a map of 1947
please have a look
then go read
Jimmy Carters books
the IOF snipers shot a woman and child in a church
think about that
life has no value, they care not who they kill
aid workers and reporters
fodder for their guns
Hannibal's directive you can not make this up
the Israeli Supreme court has spoken many times
a people who welcomed the European as refugees
soon to regret their kindness
Israel formed by terrorists, so lets condemn this terror
the  true Semites of the land, Jews and rabbis
stand by their Palestinian brothers and sisters
holocaust families handing tissues, they saw it once before
now thousands of children slaughtered
you are witnessing evil first hand
seventy five years or horror and crimes


The Killing Fields

When children are used
As human shields
In war zones, identified 
As killing fields 
The reason behind it, you don’t 
Have to guess 
Human pawns … in a 
Game of chess
Words cannot describe 
The anguish I feel 
As news of the atrocities, 
Is reported to reveal 
Innocent children, 
Torn Limb from Limb 
To further the cause 
Of some fanatical whim
Prohibited from attempting 
To stop this horror 
We bow our heads 
And pray for tomorrow 
Israel and Palestine, 
A conflict jamboree 
Mankind in its lunacy, 
Too blind to see
Hidden behind culture, 
Religion and hatred 
This kind of action, 
Should not be tolerated 
History has taught us 
Over the years
That war brings nothing, 
But bitterness and tears
