Western law separates
Church and state;
Judaic law doesn’t
Differentiate.
Mishpatim expounds
The civil laws
In society today;
They seem to be a lost cause,
There is no time for civility,
Obsolete is common decency,
Lauded, the wicked and depraved,
The world swept up in an evil wave,
Fighting injustice
Is like fighting the tide;
Buckle up,
We’re in for a bumpy ride!
Thievery is legal,
Many businesses closed,
After recent fiascos,
Flash mobs,
In luxury car convoys, strike,
People rush in,
Hyena-like,
Storming high-end shops,
They snatch and grab
Going way over the $950.
“Legal theft” tab,
None will stop,
The wild looting spree,
Even violent criminals
Go free.
Charlie Cytron Walker,
You survived a terror attack,
You had made clear your position
In a 2020 petition,
Citing “Humanitarian Law”
A “Letter From 1,798(!) Jewish Clergy”
Demanded Israel give up
“West Bank” sovereignty.
Judea and Samaria were promised
By HaKadosh Baruch Hu,
Jews living there rightfully
Mean nothing to you;
Every day they face the threat
Of the terrorism
You lived through!
You would reward terrorism
For the acceptance you value,
Did you finally get the message?
Did Hashem get through to you?
Brave Israeli settlers
And the noble Hilltop Youth
Are the heroes of today;
They make me proud to be a Jew!
Unilever’s on the bandwagon
Of the BDS team,
Thought you’d cash in on the hate
With anti-Israel ice cream;
Yet, many are finding,
They can live without the fix
Of your lardaceous sugar-cholesterol mix;
You thought siding with anti-Semites
Would be the new “PC” cotillion,
So far, it has cost Unilever
Twenty-six billion!
That’s a mighty fine number
He Who rules the universe
Said, “And I will bless
Those who bless you,
And the one who curses you
I will curse.”
This is “mundo bizarro”
Sometimes we don’t know what to think,
But sometimes HaKadosh Baruch Hu
Gives His children a wink,
A backfired offensive
To a traitor or enemy,
Impeccable irony,
Perfect poetry,
Now and forever our Defender,
Just as in days gone by;
Thank you for the wink, Hashem!
Am Yisrael Chai!
