The Day My Friends Went Insane

  They were my gentile friends, ones I could count on
    They stood by me when times were tough

  A pep talk here, a couch to sleep on there
    They kept me from falling through cracks

  Year after year, we shared the cheers and the tears
    Patient as saints, they helped me conquer my fears… 

  Until October 7, ’23, the day 1,200 of my Jewish brethren were slain
    They felt I was to blame ~ though it was they’d gone insane



  ____________________________________________________
  On October 7, 2023, Hamas radicals and 'ordinary Palestinians,'
  along with some UNRWA workers, murdered 1,200 people in Is-
  rael, almost all of them Jews. (A significant number of Israelis 
  were raped and burned alive as well.) Hamas also took about 
  240 people hostage. About 50 of those hostages are still be-
  ing held in captivity by Hamas today, over 600 days later. 

  P.S. How can I, who have lived in Chicago since 1979, be to 
        blame for Hamas/Palestinians murdering, raping, burn-
        ing and kidnappings Israelis on October 7, 2023?!
