Israe or Hamas: Which is Worst?

Isreal or Hamas:
Which is the Worst?


 

Above: Logo of Hamas, and an Israeli tank.

They suffered at our hands for ages
Only to inflict the same
On others in their own land
On which they laid claim

But there were those among the natives
From whom nothing else would do
But to wipe out Israel
And the death of every Jew

They claim to love Yahweh, Alla
But I think alas
The distain for God of an aethiest
Is more loving than that of a member of Hamas
Or indeed a Jewish fundamenatlaist
Who sees when he does look
Only what justifies HIS claims
In the pages of the Good Book.

 

Left: page from the Koran, right: illustration of the Torah, both of the Moslems and Jews respectivly.

If you love God
You dont have to preach hate
God will judge the good and bad
And as each He in time will state...

So, Isreal or Hamas
Each with a bloody thirst
Both preach god and practice evil,
Both and neither are the worst...

Your first line sums it all up, Thomas -injustice breeds resentment, doesn't it? was there not a time in Spain when Hebrew, Muslim and Christian lived in relative harmony, in the common search for truth and enlightenment, a state of affairs which I think was known as the Convivencia? We must have hope, and work for peace, for the sake of all our children.

HI Tomas, I agree, and I did enjoy your poem and pictures. Years ago I did a college paper on the two rivals, I dont care for either one.Some days I pray for them, other days, I wish they would nuk eachother and be done with it. You can trace the problems between them back over 2000 years ago.As an American Im suppose to support Isreal. As a christian, I have pitty for them. Thats as far as it goes. Its a holy land of murder.
