To Accept Israel

 

“Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.”

 

– President John F. Kennedy)

 

To deny Israel is to curse ourselves

For we are inheritors of the Covenant

That He should be our God, and we His people

He creates us, He calls us – this is so

 

He has given us prophecy and law

Cattle in the fields, fish in all the seas

And lovers, flowers, sunsets, songs, salvation

The Great Dance of Creation - and Himself

 

Let not the sinister whisperer divide us!

To accept Israel is to accept - everyone
