As I was painting her, this came to mind




Israeli Woman

 

 

A tough no nonsense woman

Confident aggressive compassionate 

Holocaust lineage forged in fire

The perfect weapon lean and sharp 

With gentle touch heals 

The Palestinian child

Yes, I liked the twist, that not all - in fact many - Israeli people are against their present governments policies.
