“The Horrors of Antisemitism” depicts Israel and the Jewish people as enduring beacons of faith and resilience against a relentless, shape-shifting hatred. It paints antisemitism as a pervasive evil—ancient yet thriving in modern forms like online vitriol and physical attacks—threatening a people bound by a sacred covenant. The poem suggests that supporting them aligns with justice and divine will, reflecting their unyielding spirit in the face of persecution. It ends with a resolute call to sustain the Jewish people, portrayed as precious and indelibly marked, protected by God’s unwavering watch.

Beneath the sky where history weeps,
A nation stands where faith runs deep.
To lift its star is to hold a light,
Against the shadows that claw the night.

The venom spreads, a whispered hate,
Through screens and streets, it lies in wait.
A specter old, with modern guise,
Defiles the truth with ancient lies.

Synagogues burn, the words turn vile,
A people marked by time’s long trial.
Yet still they rise, unbroken, bold,
A covenant carved in tales of old.

To stand with them, some say, is just,
To echo God through ash and dust.
For in their struggle, a mirror gleams—
The fight for hope amid the screams.

The horror creeps, a rising tide,
Antisemitism’s ceaseless stride.
Sustain the precious, etched in stone,
God’s gaze their shield, never alone.
