Lee Diamond – The end of an era ?

The media in Israel can be so insensitive

Shimon Peres is still struggling for his life

And the media summarizes his life

As if it was the end of an era.

The greats are gone they tell us.

Peres is the last of the brave.

The last of the authors of the dream

 

Let us stop for a moment

And keep Shimon alive  with us

For as long as we can
Lets see if his and the dreams of his era came true

At least some of them

 

They dreamed of a normal Jewish state

They dreamed of a new Jew.

They dreamed of a nation of strength

They dreamed of a Hebrew culture

They dreamed of creative Jews

Jews who were no longer self conscious of being different

They dreamed of a patriotic youth

Aware of their nation

And willing to serve it with passion

Willing to fight its wars and to search for wars end!

To smile in the face of adversity  and to danceb at moments

Of peace .

 

It’s not the end of an era at all

It’s the fulfillment of the dreams

Of our dreamers, our founders, our patriots

Our great leaders.

peres

Our youth live in their image

They are full of beauty

They are normal Jews

They are idealistic

They are modest

They too dream of a peace

And in Hebrew

 

And we forget sometimes that they are patriots

Never faltering in their conviction

To carry us in their shoulders.

 

Shimon: these are the heroes of Israel

It’s not the end if an era

It’s just the beginning.

Be proud and heal

Mr. President
