StOp BeInG sO aNtIsEmItIc!!!

Maybe just me but as I've got aulder stuff like this facking crumples me, 20yrs ago would have been something I read and moved on, not now and not only about this situation, across the board and all types of stuff, not ashamed either, good that I was able to change as a person

This makes me think of my son. How lucky I am and he is that he was born here

And it makes me feel gutted for all those little ones born into unimaginable cruelty

How I laughed at my mother's false teeth
As they foamed in the waters beneath.
But now comes the reckonin'
It's me they are beckonin'
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

Criticism against Israel is not anti Semitic. It’s a criticism of the evil that country does. Anti semitic is anti Jew, most people who criticise Israel are not criticising Jewish faith. Different things imo.

Doesn't rhyme

I thought it was clear I was joking. Labeling stuff antisemitic when people criticise Israel and Zionism drives me mad!

Wasn’t directed at you, I knew you were joking, I’m just fed up of hearing people say that criticising Israel is anti semitic, it’s not. Wasn’t having a go at you

No worries! Glad we're on the same side.

Touching. Makes me angry like a lot of things in this f*cked up world.

The topic aside I’ve never ‘got’ poetry. Just words written in lines. Yeah I know there’s supposed to be balance, timbre, quatrains of iambic tetrameter and whatnot but loada scheidt. Call me a Palestine.

I’m descended from a famous poet and my bil is a fairly famous poet. Thankfully he rarely brings it up

"Anti semitic is anti Jew ..."

False (but a common mistake) regardless of any attempt to re-define 'semite' or it's derivatives

Yup, a world getting madder thanks to oversized Oompa Loompa and an Ivy League potato facker running the world’s most powerful nation. It’s a sorry state
