Choose a Side
It’s hard to choose a side
When both sides are wrong.
Hard to believe the news
When propaganda’s strong.
We use our intuition
To read between the lines.
Probing through the entrails
Interpreting the signs.
When anybody asks you:
Who’s side are you on.
Say you’re still deciding
And you hope it won’t take long!

When faced with the fanatical religious Jews using obscure biblical claims for lands that they’ve never lived in and the bullying terror of the Hamas scum; it’s hard.
I can’t defend either.
As bad as each other? Possibly. I can’t decide.
I just wish that instead of falling into the hands of extremists who feed off hate and martyrdom people were able to listen to tolerance and rational thought. Instead of religious extremism they practiced empathy and compassion.
You reap what you sow.
Violence breeds hate.
Death breeds martyrdom.
It’s an all-consuming cycle.
It needs breaking – talk, reparation and concord.
