The Dregs of Society Always Love to Blame The Jews

 

The Dregs of Society Always Love to Blame The Jews

"זן נדיר" (We Are a Rare Breed) By Corinne Allal

We fear our own shadow

We cling to the walls of the houses
And most of the time are ashamed of our bodies
Digging bomb shelters

We are fleeing from a crazy party
Pushing our way into rowboats
Every dry land is a sinking ship
When digging bomb shelters

We are a rare breed
A strange bird
Dreams in the air
Head in the ground

We deceive mostly ourselves
Not blind but we do not look
And it’s unclear what we will leave behind
Except for the fears

We are a rare breed
A strange bird
Dreams in the air
Head in the ground

The Hatikva

🇮🇱 The Hatikva for anyone who wants to learn to sing it:

Kol od ba'le'vav p'nima

(As long as in the heart within)

Nefesh Yehudi ho'miyah

(The Jewish soul yearns)

Ulfa'atei mizrach kadima

(And forward, to the ends of the East)

Ayin le’Tziyyon tzofiyah.

(An eye gazes toward Zion)

Od lo avdah tikva'tenu

(Our hope is not yet lost)

Hatikva bat sh'not al'payim

(The hope of a two thousand years)

Lihiyot am chofshi be'artzeinu

(To be a free nation in our land)

Eretz Tziyyon v'Yerushalayim.

(The land of Zion and Jerusalem)

When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate."

Music festivals and concerts, long celebrated for fostering unity, are increasingly being used to spread hate and divisive rhetoric. High-profile incidents—such as Bobby Vylan’s anti-Israel chants at Glastonbury, Roger Waters’s provocative performances, and inflammatory statements by artists like Kanye West and Imagine Dragons—illustrate how musicians, seeking to be seen as edgy or socially conscious, often promote distorted messages that can influence youth and normalize hate. The failure of media and institutions to intervene exacerbates these dangers, raising concerns about the responsibility to protect shared values of justice and respect. Ultimately, music must remain a force for peace and unity, not a vehicle for hatred or bigotry.

Mutual and Eternal Love

Please see my new poem in The Times of Israel called "Mutual and Eternal Love."

Like Abraham, we are tested to do "what is right and just," and history is our witness.

For "we are dust and will return to dust," but our souls will rise to heaven and be reunited with our everlasting, loving Father.

(Also, please remember to listen to the Jewish music video as you read the poetry.)

Mutual and Eternal Love

“Death Con” NEVER AGAIN

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Death Con NEVER AGAIN."

KanyeWest - I hope that you visit Auschwitz and think deeply about the hurtful, hateful anti-Semitic words that you said. Hopefully, you can change your rhetoric to feelings and words of love and brotherhood.

A Beautiful Song From The Guardians of Zion

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "A Beautiful Song From The Guardians of Zion."

I was very moved by the Israeli police, who have dangerous jobs defending the borders and the cities of the Holy Land, yet singing unburdened about our home and heart!

The Jewish people are an incredible tapestry of amazing people from all over the world.
