One of the traits that makes the U.S. unique
Why in addition economic prosperity migrants entry here seek
In our Bill of Rights to our Constitution we have freedom of
speech
Coupled with the rights to assemble in peaceful protest to
our leaders beseech
The Hamas Israeli War which started with Hamas’ October 7 bloody
invasion from the Gaza Strip
Killing 120 men women and children and taking 140 hostages
on a Gaza one way trip
Israel declared war that will end when the Hamas returns the
hostages and its ability to wage war on Israeli civilians ceases
Sadly more like than not the Gazan civilian casualties will steadily increase
Gaza is a very densely populated city for a battleground
Honeycombed with tunnels under residences, schools and hospital
grounds
No matter how hard the IDF to minimize civilian casualties tried
Gazans by the thousands have been wounded or died
Large areas of its cities and towns reduced to rubble
With Iran’s proxies, Hezbollah and Houthis beating war drums
Israel faces an existential survival struggle
Worse the unavoidable deaths of Gazans have germinated to
the antisemitism seeds
Sprouting protests and calls of genocide on college campuses
and violence as calls for a cease fire Israel will not heed
Almost a déjà vu growing each day like the protests over the
Vietnam War
Antisemitic attacks on Jewish students and places of worship
beginning to soar
Mobs of angry protestors fight with Capitol police and
hurling bottles and rocks
White House staff forced to moved as the idea of peaceful
protests clearly mocked
As usual Biden beset also by the war in Ukraine and the
growing threats to Taiwan invade
Seems once again to be lost at sea, displaying frailty and weakness
for our foes and allies to see.
