#Jews are #Indigenous to the #MiddleEast

Some people say that Ashkanazi originally came from Germany, but ask a Nazi and he'll disagree. Doesn't think we're part of his family tree. He's actually right about one thing at least. We're not from Europe. We're from the Middle East, but the Romans came and destroyed our home. Overthrown. Some of us had to go on to Rome. But there were Jews who never left the land. They just got crushed by the Caesar's hand. Slaughtered like sheep at home and abroad with no other choice but to turn to God. Divided and conquered. Our enemies tried to end us with the worldwide genocide. But Hitler failed. Our people prevailed. And we still stand strong in Israel. Cuz Jews are indigenous to the Middle East. And all we're asking is for a little peace. Been oppressed ever since we were dispossessed, enslaved, arrested, and put to death. But we persevered, never disappeared. Been in Israel for thousands of years. Thank God we've been able to overcome. Still living in the land that we come from. Though I can handle the snow in Ohio. If I follow my roots, I know where they go. I'm Midwest born, but I'm from the Middle East where my deceased ancestors rest in peace. In Hevron, I couldn't hold back my tears. At that grave, my forefathers felt so near. I stopped in Bethlehem, broke down and cried when I realized this is where my grandmother died. In Jerusalem, I was balling cuz all that remains of our temple is the whailing wall. It's been standing alone since our exile began. When many were forced to flee from the land, some stay, but those who wandered away prayed to return three times every day. And now we've been answered at last. We stand together with our clan in the holy land. Cuz Jews are indigenous to the Middle East. And all we're asking is fur below peace. Been oppressed ever since we were dispossessed, enslaved, arrested, and put to death. But we persevered. Never disappeared. Been in Israel for thousands of years. Thank God we've been able to overcome. Still living in the land that we come from.
