Whoosh--The Sound Peace Makes

Everyone please take a few moments to learn about Sderot, an Israeli city near Gaza that has endured thousands of Qassam rockets lauched at her over the past seven years.

Also, if you could please read "The Siege at Sderot" by Micah Halpern of Front Page Magazine:

Thank you.

The “Color Red” siren
cries out to her children

“15 seconds
take cover”

Whoosh—is the sound
peace makes, right before
it explodes into shards of hate

How many know
how many care
Qassam rockets
rain every few hours
every single day
from Hamas
in their perpetual
game of dominate

Shhh—can you hear the roar
from Sderot round the world
Can you hear global outrage?

It is silent
you know
Silent like
a blind eye
sees no wrong.

Those who walk the path
and know it too, ask:
What would YOU do
after rocket number
3,022?

Ooooh, you've riled me deeply... how dare we? The video and poem were painful and beautiful. God forgive us all... and God bless us... --Charlie

"Whoosh--The Sound Peace Makes" stimulates social responsibility, and rings the bell of Justice... Its author bears a courageous pen, which I respect and admire.

The Jewish, Canterbury, Muslim, Vatican leaders and the FIVE PERMANENT MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL, have proved that they are responsible for the disgraceful situations of those areas, including IRAK, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. For they are organized in cartels; and – I mean criminal cartels of industrial wars and manufacturing and sale of weapons.

As long as people allow those mentioned above to play with people’s lives like they play with toys. The situation will remain as we have experienced in the last fifty-nine years. The name of the game is terrorism and war at our doors, until we say NO to their creators and gameMasters.

In respect,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

The agony and pain that we humans can inflict never ceases to amaze me!

Sara,

When one hears the thump of a mortar or rocket then the whoosh it is safe to know that it is behind you but when the whoosh never comes it's sometimes too late to take cover. How well I remember. None could imagine the devastation without experiencing it. My heart cries for these people. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

The world has gone completely crazy and hating the Jew is again on the rise, especially in Europe. never mind the Hamas and related a**holes . . . In America Jew-hating is being perpetuated by certain organizations who, if not for the American Jew, would not have been as successful during the civil rights struggle in this country . . . Shame on the world . . . Shame on us . .

Painful to read - painful to watch - The lines,

"The 'Color Red' siren
cries out to her children

'15 seconds
take cover'

whoosh - is the sound
peace makes, right before
it explodes into shards of hate ..." < --- particularly heartwrenching

Excellent, Sara. I'm praying for the peace of Israel -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
