What of Courage?

 

If I wrote the forbidden words

or dared to speak them out,

who would say what they had heard

or spread the word about?

 

And if I hid from law and rule

which of you might turn?

To speak of me as if a fool

that I some lesson learn...

 

And which of you might stand alone

to take the space I'd filled?

Where I had dared to right a wrong

that no more life be killed.

Hi there,

thanks to Graham, Landi, and Uilleam for the generous comments, gifts and advise.

My apologies for delayed response.

Thanks also to those who thoughtfully sent flowers, always appreciated.

Thanks, David.

Write your words David, and may the mealy-mouthed cowards be damned for their complicity in war-crimes.

I think your piece is extremely fine writing David. The right to determine own's own status is of course laudable unless others are hurt by such determination. Tolerance is paramount and in very short supply.

All I would say is that Patinkin is right in his anger.

I would qualify that Israel does have the right to exist (as he states) however, not in its present configuration....that must not be permitted to continue.
