First of all, I like that Mr. Suissa's poem include an outline of the Jewish State, including the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights. I believe that Israel has every right to exist right where it is now, with its current borders intact, post-1967. Take back the West Bank, take back Gaza, and do not cede the Golan Heights!

Here is a poem I was moved to write in response to Mr. Suissa "Homeward Bound."

Take Back the Holy Land

Promised by YHWH to Abram, who became Abraham, Father-of-Many

Abraham had many sons,

Of whom I am one

Remember the Promise

The Promised Land

Given by God to Abraham

Cottage or cottage cheese

West Bank or Bank of the West

Israel belongs to the Jews

A Blessing to the Gentiles

A nation through whom

All the nations will be blessed

Blessed be Abraham

Said Melchizedek, King of Righteousness

And Blessed be God-Most-High

Abraham had many sons,

Of whom I am one

Israel, the Prince with God

Wrestled with the Heavenly Messenger

He lost his strength to walk

Yet he gained the Promise

Israel, the Cup of Trembling

The Apple of God's Eye

Forbidden Fruit to the Forces of Evil

The Promised Land for Everyone

Abraham had many sons,

Of whom I am one

Jews may dream

Yet YHWH proclaimed

A Father of many nations I have made you

As weeping prophets of old foretold

Weeping for joy or sorrow or both

I will make a new covenant

A brit shalom shalom

A name never to be cut off

If heaven and earth can be cut to length

I will cast off the seed of Israel

Like the stars in heaven

Like the sands on the shore of the sea

Thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles

Abraham had many sons,

Of whom I am one

Captives no more

They shall all return

From their tents, from their troubles

They will laugh again, like Isaac

Jerusalem, the Cup of Trembling

All will be cut who try to cut you

YHWH will destroy all nations

Who seek your destruction

YHWH who gave Israel manna from heaven

Will give wealth to you and to the world

Many sons had Abraham

And I am one of them
