Op ED Commentary
What Israel is doing to Gaza, and what the settlers are doing in the West Bank, are heinous acts. What Hamas did on Oct 7th was equally heinous when civilians are murdered. When open minded people read my pom (permanently in the Simon Wiesenthal Holocaust Museum Archives) they could easily replace the word ‘ Jew’ with ‘Palestinian’. So sad.
Never Again
to be a Jew
an outcast with nothing
neither the dignity of a cell
nor the honor of a soldier
hunted, tormented shamelessly
just for being a Jew
to be a Jew
homeless, loved by no one
friendless, but in memory
of a Father so forgiving
yet turned away once more
just for being a Jew
to be a Jew
a creature of the day
for the night has eyes
eyes that can condemn
eyes that can haunt
just for being a Jew
to be a Jew
standing proud in cattle cars
marching silently toward death
for only G-d holds redemption
to those who are the chosen
just for being a Jew
