The Middle East

The Middle East When the persecuted became persecutors  chaos followed; what a mess the Middle East is Both sides of the conflict like killing one other up pops more fanatics with eager knives If you are an Arab Christian, your life is short if you are a Muslim, they will give you the key to London and the neighboring locals  Is there such a being as a Christian Jew? There are Orthodox Jews, men with braided hair, wearing black hats and dark suits round glasses make them look scholarly Their women stay in the background when on their back, giving birth to yet another anti-war Jew     In Syria, Assad has fled, prisons are emptying people are jubilant, but hang on, prisons will be full again of the new regime's enemies  I read, but can it be true, that the Saudis are the Jews of antiquity; one can say they love money  and kill their opponents, whether in an embassy  or in a café eating lamb chops  In the meantime, we ask ourselves, will Syria be Afghanistan, where women get beaten for showing not a leg, but a pale face of suffering  All is not lost, the Syrians in Sweden and Germany are heading back to their homeland  For S and G, a burden lifted
