on God’s Learning Channel
this second day of February declares:
“There are two kind of Jews
those that follows Abraham’s tradition
and those that do not.”
“Seventy-five percent of American Jews
are secular Jews, twenty-five percent
are not.”
Give me Charlie Chaplin
who’s freedom was sacrificed
because he depicted Hitler
as a buffoon,
or Steven Spielberg who says it’s time
to admit the sins of Abraham’s seeds
at the same time being proud
of our heritage i.e.
wonderful tenders of gardens.
the truth even today
genocide lives, in the Sudan, Haiti etc.
What happened to the Uniting of Nations
after World War II that decreed
“Never again.”
‘Never again to genocide
and never again to nuclear bombs?”
Oh Israel will you now join
the Non Nuclear Proliferation Treaty?
Will the nations already members
renew their pledge? Will Pakistan, India?
It is not good to break treaties
Nor is it good not to sign them.
Will we go thru another Cold War rattling nukes?
(lots of blood shed during that cold war,
though few American and few Russians)
Or will we start firing nukes
Creating a man made Armageddon
Who will G_d say caused Armageddon?
Those who use the nukes or those who refuse to use them
like, but not limited to, the seventy-five percent
of American Jews John Hagge calls
secular.
Secular, in a democracy, does not equate to
absence of religion. And democracy
will never be achieved when there is
tyranny of a majority over a minority.
What is it we want our neighbor to do unto us?
And what do we do unto our neighbor?
When the other cheek is turned who will slap it?
