Poem by Israeli peace activist on war with Gaza
“The detritus of hatred lies scattered.”
“Shalom, salaam – the only victory”
“our eyes clouded / By rocket fire”
“Today we pray in the name of the children”
“and so we forget our own house / and walk in g-d’s”
“Dear God, help us look, / look closer so that we may see / our children in their children”
“Together we will build a world of justice and peace.”
