Political leaders: If Vladimir Putin or Hamas applaud your policy, it's a bad one. 

    

   Cultural festival

not much music

but color and drama,

crowds so excited;

football fascinates!    

                                                                                            

     Demolition

the ghosts have gone;

but stories stay

to haunt or heal

the memories we have

At the beach, most dogs

like the water. Those that

do, can be trained to surf!

They love it.

Beware of Western politicians who have very little respect or sympathy for Ukraine's heroic defense against Russian tyranny.

                                                    

     Old age

winds blow colder

and wounds heal more slowly

but love and humor

may broaden and deepen

     Difference

on behalf of the

eccentrics, court jesters and poets

may I say

if everyone was like us

there may be chaos

but if no-one was like us

would dull conformity win?

Despite his character faults, health

issues and so on, Donald Trump is

the US president again.

It's partly because his attitude to 

the defense of Israel has seemed

relatively practical.

This is a very big issue. Jews have

made huge contributions to science,

the arts, literature, etc.
