The Paragliders like ravenous vultures flew to southern Israel to predate on soft targets. Like swarms of bees, they snuck, raped, maimed, shot, burnt and slew. Terror did every man's fragile conscience becloud. Hate made their embittered hearts to mercy forget. Abductions followed, having to terror avowed.
Then came the IDF's genocidal intent, having intended global laws to circumvent; Children, women, all consumed by mighty vengeance. A disproportionate response beyond balance. Homes, hospitals, Mosques, Churches and schools are levelled, as Gaza is by torrents of bombs bedeviled. I do not with a livid Israel sympathize, nor do I with a besieged Gaza empathize. With humanity I have my affinity, for my deep love for it, tends to infinity.
I agree with the sentiment of your poem exactly. It is really genocide on both sides that is at stake. There doesn't seem to be any appeasement between the two ideologies that returns with the memory of vengeance about every generation now.
I just hope it doesn't bleed over into another world war. And if the United States and allies stand with Israel I don't see the world getting any better for it.
325 letters my father wrote to my mother during his time in World War II.
Woven together in a timeline of events of three of his brothers, 5 brothers-in-law, and one cousin, all 10 of them were in WWII at the same time.
I just hope it doesn't bleed over into another world war. And if the United States and allies stand with Israel I don't see the world getting any better for it.
